3d tabs, dogbone install

Post by Maravedis »

New here. hello!

I'm running Vcarve Pro 9.015. and have 2 problems (to start)

1. I'm pretty sure that I have used 3d tabs in the past - but now no 3d tabs option box appears in the profile toolpath. how do I get it back?

2. I'm trying to install Dogbone Gagtet but after I download it nothing appears in the Dogbone_fillter setup box. its empty.

thanks for any help

1. Make sure you have "Show advanced toolpath operations" at the top of the profile toolpath form checked otherwise the 3D option for tabs isn't displayed.

2. Are you installing the correct version of the gadget? Sounds like you might be trying to install the version for VCarve before 9. The 9 gadget is here - http://gadgets.vectric.com/V9/dogbone.html
