Converting a .tap to a .toolpath template?
Posted: Fri Nov 11, 2011 10:37 am
Gentlemen,
I am new to the CNC shark world. I just received my Shark on Wednesday this week. I purchased the Shark Pro Plus HD. Here is my situation. I am trying to create one of those "It's a Boy" signs. I have purchased the .stl file and managed to stumble my way through created the .tap file in Cut3D. What I would like to do is import that to Vcarve pro and add some text to it. Does anyone know how to do that?
I figured if I could load the .tap file into vcarve I would be fine, but the .tap file isn't even selectable. So I figured if I could convert the .tap file to a .toolpath template file i would be able to import it that way and add the test exactly where I want it on the material. Let me know if this is possible or another way of doing this.
Thanks
