can a .sbp file be loaded back into vcarve pro?

[Tim Lucas]

I have a cut file I need to load back into vcarve, can it be done?
I have changed the .crv file so I can not use it and I missed part of
the tool path when I processed it:(
Thanks
Tim

Tim…
SB3 has a file converter program… It's clunky and takes a while to figure it out. It back plots the machine code to make a DFX file, so every jog shows up and the line represents the center of the bit and will have to be offset. Also, if the cut was a 3 pass cut, you’ll have a spiral of 3 stacked vectors.
It takes a lot of work to clean up a file, but can be a lifesaver!
SB3->File->File[C]onvert
Good Luck!

Thanks Steve, when I read your comment "it back plots", I realized it will do me no good:( as what is missing will still be missing - Lesson learned - I am using the same file to layout several different sized boards with the tic-tac-toe tool paths and did not save each board file so I can not go back and I missed some of the tool path - no big deal - Thanks again :)
