louver cutter?

[Anonymous]

does anyone know where i can find a "louver cutter"
for iv6 ?

i have downloaded one from cbliss (i think). it has a file extension .dvb. after i unzip it and try to open the .exe file, it can not find the file type to open with.

any help?

thanks, tony

Actually it's *.ide. It's a Design Element (aka iFeature). Read in the
online help on how to use iFeatures...

hi sean,

i di read the online help files but can not find an answer.
when i unzip the file, it unzips as loucutterv6.dvb.
when i try to open the file it is looking for the program to open with. am i missing something in my system?

should the file unzip with .ide extension?

thanks, tony

Go to "Tools>ApplicationOptions>iFeature"
check out the paths that are displayed here, then place the louver ifeature in
one of these. Then when you go to aply an iFeature it will be
available.

There are also a couple of good tutorials on
ifeatures and punch tools written by Sean and Neil that you should read if your
going to be using these.

the file does not unzip as an .ide file.
it unzips as an .dvb file.

i tried what you suggested and it still does not work.
