HELP! Need to get LASER pp file to show up in 9.5

Post by markdickerson »

I lost battery on old computer. I did copy my CNC data to thumb drive. I need a .pp LASER file imported into my VCarve Pro 9.5 program, but I do not know the correct file folder *Under VCarve Pro 9.5* to cut and paste into. I have it (perhaps foolishly) copied to all listed folders under the File Tree of VCarve Pro 9.5, but it is not showing up when I go in the Tool Selection side of the tool paths. How do I get the laser file to show up so I may use it in a newly created file? Thanks very much. I need to laser some coasters I have created for a graduation party tomorrow afternoon.... (Sunday, June 2).

It's usually in:

C:\ProgramData\Vectric\ProgramName\V9.5

You can also select the file menu\"open application data folder"

Steve, Thanks for answering. I have C:\Program Files(X86)\VCarve Pro 9.5\ then the folders showing are: backup, fonts, icons, language, lua, ps, res, win32, x64
and NO file menu in my Search C: or in Search VCarve Pro 9.5, nor do I have a way to open Application Data folder (since I don't see one in 9.5.
Thoughts? thank you so much for your time, Mark

Mark,
You're looking in the wrong place.
The easiest was is as Steve stated, in VCarve, under File->Open Application Data Folder. There will be two folders associated with Post Processors, one called PostP and another called My_PostP

In V Carve Pro, click the File menu, then "Open Application Data Folder". It HAS to be there.
