Which Output Tap for Aspire 8.0

[davemartin88]

Just upgraded to Aspire 8.0 from VCarve Pro, which toolpath output is used for the SharkHD. There is one output type called "CNCShark- USB 3D Contour (inch/*.tap)" and one called "CNCShark- USB Arcs (inch/*.tap)"? Do you use the 3D version if you're outputting a tap with a 3D component and the Arc version for others? Missed this in the documentation if it's covered? Thanks.

3D Contour is less accurate and faster than Arcs.

Both will work, just depends on how accurate the carving has to be. For simple designs with a low detail I use Contour, for more intricate designs I use arcs
