Re: V12 Array Preview Broken

Thank you Greg. Possibly related & reference attached: if I have two arrays in a job and I edit one array, the other array preview "Hides" (unchecks itself in the Toolpath list). It doesn't really affect usability, it's just something different I noticed in the new version. And if I may hijack this...

Re: V12 Array Preview Broken

Within the "Create Array Copy Toolpath" feature, the FIRST "Calculate" (preview the array) works, but after that if Calculate is clicked the preview disappears. See attached image. Calculating toolpaths outside the array feature works properly. I've tested this on two installations and see the same...

Re: First Look at VCarve Pro v12!

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...

Re: vcarve 12 exporting really high z, why?

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...

Re: V12 COMING APRIL 2024 🎉

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...

Re: Vcarve Help Troubleshoot

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 ...

Re: quick way to remove bumps from a plane

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.

Re: Laser Mach4 and 4th Axis G94 to G93

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...

Re: Laser Mach4 and 4th Axis G94 to G93

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:

Code: Select all

begin FIRST_FEED_MOVE

"[N]G1[X][Y][P][FI]"
I hope that helps,

Re: Centering rotary job in V-Carve Pro 11.5

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 ...

Re: help with first time gadget

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(...
