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...

Re: STL Import Problem
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...

Re: Problem when selecting rotary job
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.

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:
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(...

Re: Proud Text on 3D object
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 ...

Re: Model rotation
You can right click on the imported component in the model tree and select "Re-Import".MarionGreenlee wrote: ↑Fri Feb 10, 2023 9:29 pmGary, 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,
Hope that helps,

Re: laser module, tool database materials
I just recently installed my new laser and have added the Vectric laser module to my aspire software. When, however, I am going through the tutorials, their tutorials reveal different materials within the tool data base. When I click on materials, in the laser tool path, all I see is Hardwood, soft...

Re: Question re. Copying and Array-Copying Models
Assuming I want to carve several spoons out of a board in the same job. The model of the spoon is imported (create both sides). I know I could do an "Array-Copy Toolpaths" to just multiply the toolpaths made for a single spoon. But that would not allow me to nest the models randomly for best materi...

Re: Need to make a change for a hotwire
Taking out all feedrates and just putting in the beginning of the file to change as needed at the machine. That works. The minimum of F30 retract cannot (from what I can tell) be changed. And, worse and I'd think a slight bug, it forces the next rapid moves to be the same feedrate as well (or maybe...

Re: Toolpath moves out of group after editing
Hello Steve and tenfrozentoes,
Would any of you mind sending us the file with toolpaths leaving groups upon recalculation? Please send them to support@vectric.com and reference this thread and we will investigate.
