Re: 1/16 Tapered Ball Nose Settings
I'm not sure where to start here. Does the tool shank really look like it's 5/8"? Does the ball diameter look like 1.6 inches? I suspect the tool you have is this one from Amana Tools. If so, the 0.8 at the Amazon link is 0.8mm (~= 0.03 inches—i.e., a 1/32" radius). The rest is comparing the VCarve ...

Re: Pro & Desktop compatability
VCarve Pro files are compatible with VCarve Desktop.. It's Aspire files that are not compatible with VCarve anything.

Re: Considering Vcarve
For Solidworks you can extract the necessary 2D curves (vectors in Vectric parlance) by making a plan view drawing (.SLDDRW)—use an empty template, not one with information boxes, etc. Then export the result as a DWG file. Beware though that I have found that even if you tell Soldiworks to keep clos...

Re: Rim around my model
I haven't had a chance to look at the file but I would suspect that if you click on Material Setup in the toolpath sidebar you'll find a gap above the model. Make that zero in all should be better.
You might need to add a ubiquitous "zero plane" to make the edge cut smoothly.

Re: Pocket Toolpath not Ramping plunge moves
Or you could keep the smaller stepover and use the "Spiral Gadget" and a profile toolpath instead of a pocket toolpath. Gadget download link.

Re: Enlarge screen view
Perhaps a screen shot of what you consider to be poor details might help us. Windows has a built-in snipping tool for taking screenshots and saving the image to a file. You can even draw highlights and annotations. The saved image file (png or jpg) can be uploaded as an attachment here. https://yout...

Re: Vcarve Help Troubleshoot
Good question. I suspect that unless you have a really specific problem and are directed to set it by support that it's an option you can safely ignore.

Re: text cutting backwards
Without any comparator in the photo (e.g. a coin) it's difficult to tell whether the image should be rotated 180 degrees making the text "backwards" (flipped through a vertical axis) or UpsideDown (flipped through a horizontal axis). Having rotated the image 180 degrees it looks more natural than it...

Re: Group Toolpaths from Separate Sheets
If you have an automatic tool changer I can sort of see why you might want to group toolpaths from what are disparate projects. But, if you don't have one why wouldn't saving like cutter toolpaths separately and running them sequentially work? Unless you're zeroing off the machine bed you might have...

Re: Cutting fine lines in Vectric. How?
Quick Engrave is meant to be used with a drag bit (usually diamond-tipped). The preview of such a toolpath never really looks convincing.
Try a profile toolpath "on the line". And set a cut depth of whatever you think will look good.

Re: Tool pass depth vs pocket depth
From the VCarve 9.5 docs:
To apply either method click the associated Set Passes button to create the resulting set of pass depths in the passes list and diagram.
