    New to embossing in V27

    I am trying to emboss a simple vectorized sketch I created in a .bbcd file. I have engraved this file with no problem. I saved the file with a new name, bbcd file. When I open the new file the Data-Cam Tree and drawing open normally. When I select Bobart the Emboss Model disappears from the tree. I see file ext. that can be embossed. I saved file with .stl ext. Same result. How do I get this to work?

    Its a bit difficult to understand what you are asking and whats been done.

    I could help you but i need a better description. Maybe a zipped bbcd file? Or do a better step by step description.

    racer6,
    That is what I ended up doing. Tech suggested that I had a corrupted file??? I started a new file,scanned hand drawn sketch,traced that, then embossed and toolpathed. Worked. From now on I'll start a new embossing file from scratch. Thanks for the suggestion.
