For 2D outlines you want to make sure you select the 2D option on the 1st CopyMachine tab & then DXF Polyline on the 3rd tab. DO NOT use the Probe to Surface Translator for 2D probe data - The poly line should go right into PartWorks or VCP as a 2D Vector file.
If you are probing 3D, select that you want 3D & probe as an SBP. When you are done, you can pull the SBP right into PartWorks3D or use the Probe To Surface Translator to convert it to a 3D DXF mesh, which you can import into Aspire using Model->Import 3D Component. The Probe to Surface Translator should be in SB3, under Tools. If it isn't see if it is sitting in C:\Program Files (x86)\ShopBot\Virtual Tools\Probe to Surface and run the .exe directly from there. Make a shortcut on your desktop.
