    bobart to stl

    Is there any way to convert bobart ".bart" files to stl, dxf or any other format usable by programs other than bobcad.
    Thanks

    There are a few tricks that can be very time consumimg. Using your 3D tool path
    you can creat a solid surface face on the CAD Side of the software. This is done by selecting one way cuts and not Zig Zag. Select the Geometry > Solids Menu > Cross Section. That should do nicely. Then with the Surface Selected Extract Line and Arc Geometry. This is a lot of work but it will work. Just be sure to take some breaks in between all that PC use. One of the main keys to BCC is to get creative, test, and Play Play Play :rainfro:

    Hope this helps you.
