    Question Looking for help with files

    I'm useing Deskcnc, and I have autocad R14 on my PC. Also Iam still learning. What I want to do is to make my own rosettes for my windows I just installed, and I would like to buy a 3D file of something on the line of a leaf and some berrys. Ihave tried pictures on my machine, dont like it that way, This is hard to explain, I went to heartwoodcarving.com and this is what i want. anyhow where can a person but this type of file and what type of file is this and will it be compatible with R14 or deskcnc? Thanks Brady

    I think DeskCNC can read an .stl file. I don't think ACAD 14 can, but there's not much you can do with it in AutoCAD anyway.

    Can't DeskCNC create the g-code from the .stl? You buy the .stl file, convert to g-code and run.

    Joe S.; With out spending any money go to the vectorart3d the above site that ger21 mentions, they have a 3d stl file you can down load free. I did this in the recessed leaf turn out good, but still not useing for around my windows. I really haven't decided what to do about the corners of the windows...(What design to go with from vectorart3d).
