9-12-2023 Q&A: STL Edits, Scaling, SVG Replacements, CorelDRAW Imports, Texture Creation, G-Code Tips, Rotary Angles, Phone Lockbox, and Vector Closures!

In this Q&A Meetup, we tackled a range of topics from modifying STL files with new elements to optimizing toolpaths for precision and efficiency. Participants learned about importing designs from CorelDRAW into Aspire, creating unique textures like hammered copper, and techniques for effective vector management. Whether you're interested in intricate design adjustments or enhancing your project's finish, this session offers valuable insights into navigating common challenges and utilizing software tools to bring creative visions to life.

Questions Answered in this Q&A:

• 00:05:33 - I have an STL that I would like to add a rectangle and text into the rectangle to place on the bottom of the plaque. How do I do this?
• 00:11:09 - Wanting to change the scale factor so I can get an accurate machining time, I've changed it in the box below, but keep having to change it for every project.
• 00:16:12 - I was wondering how to export SVG file back into the original file, meaning I imported a file but I did a lot of work to fix it and I would like to replace my work with the original.
• 00:18:14 - Designed a project in CorelDRAW and trying to import it into Aspire to engrave it, how to import into Aspire?
• 00:20:39 - Looking for a closet design gadget.
• 00:23:30 - I'm trying to make a texture that looks like hammered copper, I have Aspire. Can you point me where to get this effect?
• 00:27:48 - Will a gcode recognize the profile of the piece or will it recognize a tab in the middle? Is there a way to remove the middle and just leave the tabs on the end?
• 00:42:01 - In rotary Job, please explain raster angle in the finishing toolpath and what angle should be used?
• 00:58:13 - Help making the phone lockbox that is in the labs at Vectric.
• 01:05:00 - How do I close vectors in the VCarve toolpath?
