The Top section of the toolpaths tab houses all of the icons to create, edit and preview toolpaths. The Toolpath Tab is on the right side of the screen.This is where the design tabs can be accessed and the icons within the tabs to create a design. The Design Panel is on the left side of the screen.Click on any of the choices to show a Drop-Down list of the available commands. The Main Menu Bar (the Drop Down Menus) along the top of the screen (File, Edit, Model, Toolpaths, View, Gadgets, Help) provides access to most of the commands available in the software, grouped by function.Outputįinally you can use Cut2D Desktop's large selection of post-processors to save toolpaths in precisely the format that your particular CNC machine tool requires. Aspire provides simple interface buttons to toggle screen layout to assist the shift in focus from design to toolpathing. This process is usually relatively independent of drawing or modeling (although toolpaths are often created directly from some artwork or 3D composite models). ToolpathĪ comprehensive set of 2D, V-Carving, Engraving and 3D toolpath strategies provide you with efficient ways to use your tooling to carve the finished part. Text can also be created using any TrueType or OpenType fonts installed on your computer, or the single stroke engraving fonts supplied with the software. Functions for vector creation and editing are very easy to use and multiple design elements can also be drawn or imported, scaled, positioned and interactively edited to make a new design.
