VCarve v 7.5 no place to set home position

Post by SIBUD »

In the setup dialogue box there is no place to set the home position. I've seen examples posted here that show that choice, but it is not visible on mine. Should I be looking somewhere else?

Depends what you mean by the home position as people use that term for many different things. The UI in 7.5 is different in many places to the current versions but from memory the material setup is an icon on the toolpath tab and the job setup is on the file menu as well as icon on the drawing tab.

If its as Adrian says then I think he is right & that part is pretty much the same as the current versions, on the toolpath side under material set up towards the bottom of the page are options for home position, you also have safe z height :lol: :lol:

Sorry for the late reply. I got confused. The example for Version 9.5 shows the choice from the setup menu on the left side of the screen. I have version 7.5 and it is on the tool path menu that shows up on the right side of the screen.

Thanks to everyone who responded.

Happy New Years to all. :D :D
