Job Templates

Job templates are files which hold may hold frequently used dimensions, machine settings, or geometry. They are like regular .crv3d or .crv files apart from a few important differences:

  • They have different file extensions (.crv3dt and .crvt)
  • When they are opened then if you try and save them they will not overwrite the template, they will behave as though they are new files.
  • The default save and load location is shared only across templates
