Problem importing Photo VCarve files

Post by tommoser »

I have bitmap artwork I bring into Photo VCarve.
I generate the picture cutting file.
Everything looks good so far.

I save the pvc file then bring it into VCarve Pro.
I have followed all the directions in the help and
have tried to do it a number of times using different
Photo VCarve parameters.

On the preview of the toolpath, everything I create in
VCarve Pro is correct but the preview toolpath screen
has the graphic I import from Photo VCarve as just a
big pocket in the material.

I have attached the .crv file that looks fine
and I have attached the cut file which cuts the pocket.

Thanks in advance for the help.

You might have the Z0 origins set differently in each design?
Check that the Z0 is set for the Top of the Material in both PhotoVCarve and VCarve Pro.

The VCarve Pro file you've posted shows the imported PhotoVCarve image but
doesn't contain the toolpaths. We can't see how the project has been setup without
the toolpaths being in the file.

E-mail the complete VCarve Pro file to - support@vectric.com - and we will take a
look at what's causing the problem.
