Hess, where do you find the manual for MeshCam and can you only use the included "samples" to work with during the demo period?

Hey Bob
look at the top to "help" it will open the help files
any thing you make will stay in the same format which I think is a bitfile. they still work with designer even without the program.

It seems to do a lot but I just pick a pic and use the smoothing tool play with that scale for real noisy pics it takes more smooth
Wish I could afford it

Hi, Hess,
Perhaps I'm having a senior moment, but darned if I can import any bitmap image into MeshCam. I don't see that option. In the File option, I can go to the Samples and work with those three but am limited to those and I'm too dumb to intuitively set up the tools, so all I get is the outline and no way to work even those samples, much less one of my bitmaps, as suddenly I have no tools to use in the toolbar, that were there prior to me importing the samples. And YES, I did register the demo and got the serial number reply. It's almost like the register didn't record on my demo program, even though I did it twice. If I can get to work this thing, I may well purchase it, as it's a far less cost than ArtCam and looks as though it does about the same thing, except it uses raster instead of vector as it's base.

Sorry, Hess, but today is another day and I must have brushed the cobwebs from my wasted brain, for now I see how it's done, even to including my own bitmaps or STP/DXF's to the demo. Thanks for the help, as it really awakened some very sleepy brain cells.

U R 1 up on me I dont see any samples.

I looked around their forum they were talking about a way to use or make vector files.

Here is a pattern I made from a file I found on line. It is cool I think.

Enjoy

The picture is what the ptn looks like and this link is where you can find the pattern

Robert,

Did you try carving that pattern? How did the fine detail come out?

[robbrigg2]

No, I haven't done it yet but I will try it soon and can tell you then (if you haven't beat me to it)

I was playing with some importing and came across this from my library of background images. This one is a repeating image when joining the same pattern to any sides. I have included a sample with 4 patterns joined to make a larger carving. Have not carved it yet but thought maybe some one could use this pattern.

does anyone have a pattern or mpc that i could use? thanks in advance
