Accutrans, how hard can it be ......

[Al dedenus]

OK, so bear with me guys.Have just downloaded accutrans.So can someone give me a step by step on how to use it ? Load something and to change it to an stl. and then save to ecabs ? Never done this before but figure I'd better learn to use the DPE. I'm still not very computer literate but doing my best

Al,
Open Accutrans and click on File then Open all formats
Select the object you want to open and click on it
Click on File then Save With Options
On the dialog that pops up under Save File Type Select Stereo Lithography ASCII .stl
To the right under Center Point check the Adjust box and the Click on Calc (this makes sure the part rotates properly in eCabinets
Click on Save at the bottom and save the file where you can find it.
If you are working with an abject that has multiple parts and you want to be able to texture those parts separately in eCabinets you must use the Select Layers button and then select only one part of the object at a time and save them as an individual .STL You can then open these individual .stl's in the Display Part Editor and texture them and save all of them as your .hsf object in eCabinets.
