File Types
CRV3D | Files previously created and saved in VCarve Desktop will be opened and displayed in the 2D Design window and 3D View if they contain 3D data. All calculated toolpaths are stored/opened from the CRV3D file. |
CRV | Files previously created and saved in VCarve Desktop will be opened and displayed in the 2D Design window. All calculated toolpaths are stored/opened from the CRV file. |
DXF | Files from other CAD or graphics software packages such as AutoCAD will be opened in the original size and position. The Job Setup Form is automatically opened showing the maximum X and Y dimensions of the opened design. The actual size of the material can then be specified along with the required thickness and appropriate X0, Y0 and Z0 origins. |
EPS | Files from typical design software such as Corel Draw can be opened. The Job Setup form will automatically be opened so the required material size can be specified. By default the EPS file will be placed with the lower left corner of the design at X0, Y0. |
AI | Files from typical design software such as Adobe Illustrator and Corel Draw can be opened. The Job Setup form will automatically be opened so the required material size can be specified. The AI file will be placed with the lower left corner of the design at X0, Y0 |
Software such as the Adobe product range can be used to convert files from other design and word processing software into the industry standard PDF file format. The text and vector content of PDF files is extracted when imported into VCarve Desktop. When importing multiple page PDF documents each page is placed on a separate layer. | |
SKP | SketchUp files with a .SKP extension (see www.sketchup.com) can be imported as 2D data suitable for machining. |
