![]() You never know when you may have to start from scratch or cut one by hand. Just remember that S3D has tip and tail slices so the flows may turn out differently (to APS) between the tail and first and last and tip slices. It's pretty quick to replicate the curves once the control points are in place and you can quickly check inch by inch measures in the two programs. I open both programs (could be aku/aps) at the same time and switch between them - reading off the one and putting guide points or control points into the same place in the other program. brd files you can take them directly into S3D as discussed elsewhere. Worst case scenario you have to convert your files to another program manually, but that can be done by using screenshots of the board in AkuShaper as background images in the other program and then while having both programs open you can make sure the coordinates for every control points are the same. Having made the move to Shape3D 6 months ago I've been through some of the issues involved in file conversion: Secondly, events like this seem to trigger the creativity and determination of the competition. First of all, I'm 'guessing' there will be a few other programs that will read even the encrypted file or decrypt and save in the old format. Creating fear, uncertainty and, in general, making life hard for your users and customers are usually not a good business decision. AFAIK there are no AkuShaper cutting centers that can cut boards made with the software. What do they gain by this? Absolutely nothing. However, they should view this from the point of their customers. I can see the point tho, they want to make sure the software is only used with 'their' shaping machine, not the APS3000 nor any other machines running Shape3D. ![]() I think it's a very bad move by the guys behind the software formerly known as APS3000. The software is free to download at along with written and video documentation on its usage. I've been saying this for a while but 3D is coming soon. Key stroke 'p' toggles between zoomed and unzoomed. Useful whenĭesigning while zoomed in and you want to take a quick step back to * spot check - hold down the Spot Check bottom with the left mouseīutton to show the whole board to fit the screen. * align right - aligns the board to the right. * align left - aligns the board to the left. * zoom out - zooms out in little increments. * zoom in - zooms in in little increments. * down arrow - moves the board down in little increments. * up arrow - moves the board up in little increments. * left arrow "" - moves the board to the right in little increments. Here's part of what's written in the help section of the Pan Tool Bar. ![]() * Pan Tool Bar (see the help for how this one works). * Minor bug fixes and middleware changes to makes things more efficient. * Nose and Tail Rocker Adjustments (see help and our video tutorial on ![]() (see help and our video tutorial on the usage of this). * Board Manager - useful tool to manage your boards We're not sure how well this works on the Macs. This didn't work before because there was aīug. brd file directly will open the software along * The name of the software is now Aku Shaper, changed from APS3000. (Some of your already have some of these features.) As usual the software will update when start the program while connected to the internet.
