Questions -saving files in sequence/creating new models

[Jessica]

Hi all, new to ARTCAM...hopiong you can help me. Main questions I have are:

When creating a new model and loading the relief from previous file, it reads "ARTCAM PRO - (untitled) - [2DView:0]. The only vectors that transfer are border vectors around new blank size...why?

2.) When creating a new model, I can transfer a previous 2D ARTCAM drawing, but, if i want to enlarge or reduce the overall size without changing proportions, I can't - why not?

thanks so much for any input!

I think thats because a relief (.rlf) is a gray scale image. Which uses varying shades of color to define the hight of the relief. You can view it as a bitmap image after you paste it to the file. The vector boarder is mainly a guide for placement while pasting and for cutting the profile.

I'm kind of confussed on this one. Seems to me the proportions would have to change. Your 2D vector image is getting bigger or smaller depending. Maybe I'm not reading your question right
