How to import a graphic in PrintUP (from this page)

The live page body is short; the on-page "Video Transcript" block is the step source. Raw auto-caption is not copied in full; no transcript invented. Cleaned steps from that live block:

  1. This Part 1 is importing a graphic into PrintUP, named as the first / most common of a few ways to get 3D models into a project. The live body names that first option as the Import Graphic feature.
  2. The live block says this method works with two file formats: DXF (classic CNC-machine type format; the live block names OpenCAD-style design files as an example) and NC (G-code). Cite not fetch for those formats.
  3. From PrintUP File there is one option: Import Graphic. That opens file navigation. The live block points at a sample DXF of the AM.CO.ZA logo inside the downloaded programme files, or navigate to the DXF you want and select it. Filter shows DXF and NC.
  4. After Open, import options appear. The live block does not go into detail; it sets model height to about 40 as an example, then OK, and PrintUP generates the graphic in the programme. The live closer says this first method is straightforward, and the next video covers the next step. Recap from the live closer: softwaretraining.co.za search (top right) and the on-site request-a-training-video form if a video is missing. Avia next on this URL is a different page at https://softwaretraining.co.za/channel-letter-word-model (pretty slug printed; not invented; not fetched).
