Topic: New user- file format question- what is .nkg?

If I may be so bold as to ask, has anyone heard of a file format ending in .nkg? It seems that some of the pre-made models available from the DaVinci gallery are in this format but the XYZ software doesn't seem to recognize it. I've updated both software and firmware and tried on both an OSX Mavericks and Windows 8 machine.

The newest xyz software is supposed to use nkg files directly.  I think they are generated by the scanning software of the Aio.

Printing since 2009 and still love it!

Re: New user- file format question- what is .nkg?

I wasn't able to get the latest XYZ software to recognize the format at all, both the Mac (1.3.5) and Win8 (1.1.35.26) versions. Is the format only for the Aio or maybe I need to wait for a newer update?
