I don't think you can do that, but I'm not 100% positive.

Is V Carve going to know which app G Code is generated in? Because that's how 3d Machinist works... You import the V3M file, generate the toolpath, and then the tool path can be imported into V CArve.. Same with Cut 3D.. You import the tool path..

And even if it knows, ie there's a line in the G Code saying where it comes from, I would think that line could be edited to say 3D machinist or Cut 3D, no?

I'll be playing with the demo and will report the results...:rainfro:

You cannot import gcode with vcarve, only vectors, bitmaps, and vcarve files.

yeah, looks like you're right about that.. I guess the reason I was thinking it could import G Code is because 3D machinist asks you to select the post processor like you do in VCP when exporting G Code...

For that reason, I was under the impression you could load the 3D machinist file directly into Mach3....

But that's not the case...

So no matter what, to do what I want I'll need Cut 3D...

Short of them giving me some sort of deal where I can get the main four files I need free with Cut 3D... I'm kinda stuck at a crossroads...
