Hi to the list,
I just made a happy discovery! I use Vector CAD/CAM to generate gcode
for my parts, and occasionally CutViewer to check out the code for the
"more complex" parts. After fully "machining" a Sole Plate (base) in
CutViewer for my current steam engine project, I realized that I had a
nice, fully rendered bitmap pix of my part! As I DON'T have a 3D
modeling package like Edge (or the latest Vector w/modeling), I
attempted to print it out from my old copy of CutViewer. It doesn't
allow it. BUT, I can "Print Screen", and "paste" into IrfanView, a
great viewer for all types of pix. That works! I trimmed and saved it
as a JPG, and was then able to print it out!
