Hi michele:
What your creating is a point cloud file. They dont contain any letters. You must use a CAM program that will load point clooud files to replicate the surface. The digitiser is use donly to create the point cloud. It is not a surface replication type fo thing. Try running rhino or similar CAM program and loading the point cloud. From there you need to create a mesh , then a toolpath from the mesh..
Thanks,

Subject: [mach1mach2cnc] Scanning file
I need help!!
I have tried to simulate scanning a surface with touch
probe using the wizard that i found with Mach2.
Scanning file works fine but i saw that final surface
definition file looks like as a series of line with
X-Y-Z value without X-Y-Y letters.
How can i process or add g-code and Xs Ys Zs to the
file for make the tool replicate original shape?
Thanks
