the ONLY PP on drop dwon

Post by monlover »

Hi, :?
I am going confused every time to pick the correct PP when try to save the Tool path
I have tried to install post processor using top menue Tollpaths/ install post processor and picked the correct one from my C drive.
also dragged it and dropped to C/programdata/Vectric/ VCarve Pro/V9.0/My_postP
still all other posts drops down and gets so confusing.

Thank you in advance.

If you have a put a post in the My_PostP folder than that should be the only one appearing. If you're using the latest version of VCarve then the folder should be V9.5 not V9.0

To make sure you've put it in the right place try starting VCarve and then choose Open Application Data Folder from the File menu and copy the post you want into the My_PostP folder from there. Then restart VCarve.

Having said all that the software should always be defaulting to the last used post processor so there should be no need to click on the drop down at all unless you're using more than one on a regular basis.

Adrian,
Thank you very very much for your professional fast respond.
you are right I had to upgrade to the 9.5
now it is the only PP showing.
Thank you again.
