Clarification on keep out zones. Becky says in this video (link below) (~3:00) that the software won't let toolpaths save if they violate the keep out zones. I did a quick test and can confirm this. V12 does not seem to re-route toolpaths to avoid keep out zones (where possible - i.e. move to comma...

Great work on aspire 12 thanks :) I'm not sure If I turned something off or not not but all the sliders (got height, tilt etc)have disappeared in component properties, Is there somewhere I can turn it all back on? Thanks Sliders for base and shape height have been replaced by handles in the 3D view...

Check your values on the Material Setup om the toolpath tab. Sounds like you may have the Z1,Z2 or gap above material to a large value assuming your software uses those values in that screen. material set up is inches as is the toolpaths, At least everything i am looking at says inches from a UI st...

Is there any way to change the 3D twiddle function from the right mouse button back to the left button? The new way is going against hundreds of hours of muscle memory. :) You can do it by setting "View controls mode" to "Legacy" in the program options. Please be aware that with this enabled the bo...

Thanks for the inquiry. It is a feature we have added some time ago, to help the support team. When that feature is enabled and the software hangs, it will generate a dump file that can be send to us. Before such a dump file had to be created manually and the support team had to explain the process ...

Hi, I mainly work on topographic models, and on the latest one I have lots of fairly flat areas that are pocked with small quarries and large industrial building and piles of material. I can fill the quarries by simply merging a simple shape and adjusting its height to be ground level. For removing...

Hi Guys, I hope 2024 is bringing you all much better times than last year. Okay, I will attach three pics of when I was importing an STL file into VCarve Pro 11.554. Please can anyone tell me, why I was able to import the STL, centre, then position and import it, BUT, then it would show on the page...

Thank you for helping. Knight1.crv is the name of the file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Pygp66POn057xsOu5sK2vlXJ5MB-HDa6/view?usp=sharing This looks like a shader failure. As an interim solution please switch to software renderer (Edit->Options, then 3D view settings->Use Software Renderer). I...

The line 190 has no axis specified, just 0. I suspect that is causing it to stop. In a stock post-processor it would be a plunge, but since you've removed z moves, this move is now invalid. The zero actually comes from the power variable ( [P] ). I've made changes to your PP, put an empty PLUNGE_MOV...

Hello Jamie,

When using inverse-time mode the feedrate has to be specified for every move. I think [FI] is missing in the FEED_MOVE section of the post-processor: I hope that helps,

As I mentioned in my first post, round objects are no problem. If I turn the outside of the flute first and then set it up in the gun drill and bored the center, they are center bored even if I'm going 24". However, doing this, if there a knot or any kind of a weak spot in the wood, as thin as the ...

To remove cutting data for a single material just press 'Remove' in the bottom right corner.
I hope that helps,

Do you know anything on how to delete vectors from a gadget? There must be a way For each vector that you want to remove, you need to get a CadLayer object that contains it and then use RemoveObject or RemoveAt method: local object = layer:GetAt(pos) layer:RemoveObject(object) -- or layer:RemoveAt(...

If you have VCarve in V10.5 or higher, you can take advantage of the level clipping feature to add the text to your imported model. To do that create a new level with combine mode set to add, and add one of the rectangular tabs from clipart tab. Position and resize the tab so that it covers the are ...

Gary, that is what I did first but need to rotate it a little more after I imported it. I wish we could go back to the "Import 3D Model > Transform" and readjust as needed.

Thanks,

You can right click on the imported component in the model tree and select "Re-Import".
Hope that helps,

Greg K.
