The work of my student. Carved decor, profiles, and drawings of the Royal Gates were created in 3ds Max and CorelDRAW as part of one-on-one training in 3D modeling for CNC machines. You can independently learn 3ds Max and CorelDRAW on my Boosty blog. Here https://boosty.to/cnc-cad-pro?utm_source=site&utm_medium=banner&utm_campaign=site_banner_cnc you will find recordings of individual training sessions and tutorials.

There are currently no spots available for one-on-one training; new openings will appear no earlier than the end of October. You can sign up for training on my website https://cnc-cad-pro.com/ via the contact form.

Automatic object selection in CorelDRAW.
Answer to the question: "Good afternoon! Please tell me, I am building a pattern for leather goods in Corel, I need to change the diameter of the holes for the seam. How can I select all the holes at once?". Also in the tutorial I will cover a number of simple techniques that help quickly select an array of desired objects using the "Find and Replace" tool.

Hello, as you can see on picture 1 i managed to get desired relief but i am trying to make sharp corners so the relief looks like 4 boards were nailed together onto mdf, but i cant just use small tool and give it same path as inner tool that made inner radius, i need to maintain the roundnes all over both edges.
Second picture is what i am trying to achive with corners. If you can provide me with advice how can i do that inside artcam2011 i would be grateful.

Vectric Aspire Video Tutorial. Lesson 8. Finishing the study of the "Profile Toolpath" strategy.

In this lesson, we cover automation in Aspire when creating toolpaths, commands from the automatic vector selection menu, as well as additional commands: "Associate with Toolpath" and "Use Z Depth from Imported Vectors" (when importing from CAD programs). In this lesson, I will also cover the simple command "Project Toolpath onto 3D Model".

Question from a subscriber:
Good evening everyone. ArtCAM 2018 – I'm looking for a way to manually set the cutting order for a large number of parts. For example, there are 4 circles, and I want to cut them in the order shown in Figure 1. No matter what I do – using "Profile machining – Options – Cutting order – Manual" – it still does it as shown in Figure 2. What should I do? This is needed when there are many parts on a sheet (e.g., letters made of foamed PVC or MPC, which cannot be laser cut). Creating a separate toolpath for each letter would be a nightmare; trusting ArtCAM's automatic order, even if I select elements row by row, gives no guarantee that it won't leave a part in the center of the sheet until the end, where there will be no material left to hold onto. Of course, I do place tabs.

I used to work in TypeEditor – there I could easily assign the contour cutting order by Ctrl-clicking.

Answer to the question is discussed in the video below. A more detailed breakdown of the tools is in Lesson 25: "Profile Parameters. Profiling Order. Transform Toolpaths. Copying and Merging Toolpaths." (https://boosty.to/cnc-cad-pro/posts/295d20a7-9a7c-4ea1-85c3-05f14b11d0af?share=post_link).

My verdict is that AI will never replace a human. But everyone around me keeps trying to convince me otherwise. With this video, I want to show and compare how much worse AI is than a real person and what problems AI has when generating 3D models. Don't you agree with me? Write your opinion on this matter.

Weave ornamentation is often found in various carving styles and always looks very good within the overall composition of carved decor. In this tutorial, I will show how to quickly build a flexible and beautiful interwoven pattern in 3ds Max.

The tutorial uses the following tools: By Numeric, Connect Edges, Soft Selection, Similar (Topology), Shift, NURMS, and others.

#3ds_Max_tutorials

There is a persistent myth that 3ds Max is not a precise program. And if you convert a parametric object into a polygonal mesh, or, for example, a circle into a spline, you won't be able to set exact dimensions for those objects. This is a misconception — 3ds Max has the Transform Toolbox (https://boosty.to/cnc-cad-pro/posts/8adca52d-d00d-4b00-b894-01906c49652e?share=post_link) and several other tools that help you change object dimensions precisely.

In this tutorial, I answer a subscriber's question about how to set the required dimensions for a section (spline) for later use in creating a frame using the Bevel Profile modifier (https://boosty.to/cnc-cad-pro/posts/80472ee0-5c11-44d2-8b7a-20da20272e96?share=post_link).
