Well I have a very old version of designer software (1.186), so I would need the STL slicer add-on, or try the other method you mentioned. Or maybe I can find someone that has the STL slicer send...

If I buy a STL file for a pattern from a 3rd party website can I just import into the designer software? or do I have to somehow change it to a .ptn file?

I must not have a bit plate, here is a better pic of the right side.

here is what it does.
It goes up and down twice on the left side, then the truck moves all the way over to the right side and goes up down three times but there is nothing for the but to touch on...

Suggestions?
