Re: load a gadget file
You need to place it in your Public Documents/Vectric Files/Gadgets/{ProgramVersion} folder.
For a defaults Windows 10 install with VCarve Pro 9.5 that would be C:\Users\Public\Public Documents\Vectric Files\Gadgets\VCarve Pro 9.5
Once it's been placed there restart VCarve and it should appear on the menu. There's a very good chance it won't work though as there have been a number of updates since 2015 which could break a gadget written from then.

You won't know until you try to use it. It will either work or throw an error message.
