Upgrading old ArtCam files
Would be nice if there was some sort of file converter for old versions of Artcam.

If you install the Carveco 1.6 Update, you should be able to open any legacy ArtCAM files (*.art; *.3dp; *.rlf: *.3da) in your Carveco software. The release of the Carveco 1.6 Update was announced here and you can find the release notes here.
ArtCam file originating from any version of ArtCAM software between 2013.SP2 and 2018.2.1 are compatible with Carveco™ software.
Pre 2013SP2 files you would need to open and re-save in 2013.SP2 or above
There is also a batch converter that runs under 2015R2, not sure of the availability of it now.

As I understand it if you have a license for Carveco, but do not have AC 2015, Carveco support will convert the old files for you at no charge. At least that was what I was told before I bought my Carveco license.
You might read the FAQ section "Are my Artcam files compatible....."
That should clarify converting files

I started with Artcam a loooong time ago, I am not even sure what version it was (around 2004?). I then focused more on Rhino and then I started using Zbrush,
When I saw the pricing for Carveco I jumped on it. I have all the jpg files I used to create the models and it would probably be best if I just recreated the models to re-learn the software.
So no real issue, just more being somewhat lazy in my old age.
Thanks for the responses. Barry good to see your name again!
