Window picture files

[Ashan]

Is any possible to read windowpicture & fax viewer files (.tif extension) in mastercam

If it is possible Please explain how to read it

Thanks

Ashan,

 

There is a way to do this. You first need to convert the file to a format mastercam can read. Do a search on the forum for' "raster to vector" and you will get all the information you need.

 

Depending on the complexity of the picture and how "clean" you want your file there can be quite a bit of manual work that may need to be done.

 

I understand Mastercam Art is supposed to do a better job of this but I have not seen it myself.

Mastercam Art has a much better Raster to Vector converter. It will convert files that the normal Raster/Vector won't even touch.
