Eddie.

Thanks good info.
STEP files will not work for me, my old CAD system needs a convertor and then enter in a code.
Can you try DXF IGES or better still STL files if it?s for printing.
Thanks

Well, being a 2D drawing, a DXF file is probably more universal, and a parametric model can easily be created from a drawing. But some things just don't have "the look" as a 2D drawing.

Here's IGES and STL files of a model of an Infinity Cube that I was going to print for a co-worker who made this in a CNC class (I never got around to printing it). See if they open for you.

What is an Infinity Cube? This guy.

Even better when i attach a file Duh?

Eddie.

Iges and STL files loaded up perfect.
So we know file transfer between forum members may not be a future issue.
Thanks for your work on this.

That cube was an exercise in writing gcode for his CNC class. It was machined from aluminum billet and is one piece. It is quite striking when viewed from the proper angle. He gave me the drawing and I modeled it thinking I 'd like to print it using some of the new satin PLA filaments, but my printer doesn't do bridging very well and this would take a lot of support.

The problem with STL files is that they are not readily modifiable. Trying to work with an STL file beyond just printing can be a frustrating experience. For me, STEP and IGES files are to be preferred over STL in anything other than printing.?

Hey, I'm glad I'm able to contribute!?
