Re: Version 9 problem

I updated to the 9.515 I believe it is a day or so ago. Didn't try it until now; instead of the slow performance I get the message: The application failed to start because its side-by-side configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command -line sxstrace.exe for more...

Re: An Easier Way to select a different start point

V Carve Pro is up to version 9.xxx. I believe to upgrade to it from 8.5 is $175.

Re: Cutter dragging across model

Adrian, The Z1 and Z2 are both at .2 inches. The bit is coming up the side of the text and starting across the text leaving small cutter marks; instead of the smooth finish it should be. On the other test runs the details all look fine just the text is not smooth. Attached is a close up of what I'm ...

Re: larger Clearance tool not functioning

Thanks, guys. Adrian and Randall that was the problem. I did not have it setup as an end mill; but, then I didn't realize that was the only way the clearance tool would work. In the past I guess I just made a pocket cleared it and then finished the border with the end mill. I was on vacation last we...

Re: When profiling a 3D sign, .......

I've seen a block to set up a last pass in Aspire; the way it looks it allows you to cut a light clean up pass.

Re: larger Clearance tool not functioning

No at least if I'm understanding you, the tools are more or less grouped separately; end mill, b/nose, round over, surfacing, etc. I guess I'll have to delete the entire database and see if I can reload it and that solves the problem. I clicked on several other cutters all of them are "grayed out" w...

larger Clearance tool not functioning

This just started. I picked an B/N end mill (.5" dia.) for the cut in a pocket but when I pick the larger c/tool(1.5"planer) the screen comes up I click for the larger tool, but it won't acknowledge the choice. Instead it highlights some other tool and will not use the correct tool. The larger tool ...

Re: exterior cedar sign

Sign looks great, as they say the "customer is always right". What did you use to fill the letters? I've got a sign in cedar but hadn't decided what to use for the lettering. thanks. The question goes to anyone reading the forum as well.

Re: My first text on text sign

Very nice sign, I like the overlay look of it. Curious as to how long it took to machine?
