Braille Plugin for ShopBot

[Aaron Koehl]

I had a request to migrate the Braille plugin to directly generate ShopBot part files, for those folks without CorelDraw.

I have put it on the development schedule, and it should be released early next week.

It's gonna work in PartWorks and Aspire ???? Or is there another plan

[Aaron Koehl]

If there is any interest in have a solution that works with PartWorks or Aspire, I'll be glad to work on that. For now, the plan is to have a program which directly generates .SBP files (ShopBot Part Files), based on a couple of parameters.

Aaron,
What about a way to output pdf files so that I could import them directly into Vcarve pro? Or any program for that matter... I can tell Vcarve to drill holes where the dots are as long as they are spaced correctly.

I have a possible job coming up and would need to merge the sign data in Corel, cut the letters and then drill and place the braille balls.

After using the braille plugin, you can "save as" in Corel, or "publish to pdf".

I received a PM about modifying this program to support CAM-Master routers. I'm sure this can be done easily if there is interest, either G-Code or another language specific to CAM-Master, if it has one.
