Cutting Arcs ........

Hello All ! I'm using VcarvePro ver. 10.515 and posting to Shapeoko 3 with the Vcarve post in inches for Shapeoko. I've noticed that when cutting curves from a Autocad LT dwg. file I get hundreds of small x&y step overs to cut the arc. Is this a function of the post, Vcarve, or my Autocad dwg file ?...

Post Processor ....

Hi All !
I have a modified Shapeoko post I would like to load in Vcarve 10.5. Not finding it in the post directory when I add it there. Would like seeing it in the MyPost option when I copy it there.. Not seeing what I'm doing wrong.


Thanks in advance for the help !

Box Gadget and stock alignment

Hi All,
Trying the box gadget. The generated box layout is always located outside of the stock size I define. Regardless if I make the stock size way larger than needed. Can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Thanks in advance !

Moving a part to 0,0 .....

Hello, Novice here trying to solve a problem. I've imported a DWG file of a simple spur gear to make a toy. When setting up material I need the gear center to be my 0,0 point.

Hi All,

How do you move the part zero to a random location such as the center of a circle at a odd location on the stock blank ?

Newbie doing Vcarving using Vcarve Pro 9

Hi All, Watched the training videos and doing some practice V-carving some TruType fonts. Using 45 deg. cutter. Does the program compute the z axis depth by the type of vectors selected ?

Re: PathPilot post .....

Hi, I bought Vcarve out right and have made no changes or edits. Hardly have used the program and I now have a cnc router along with my Tormach and plan to do more projects. More time available so pretty new to the program. Probably need to contact Vectric to get the post ? Thanks for the help ! Brian

Re: PathPilot post .....

Thanks for the replies !

The post after " Pacer " is " Powermatic cnc " when selecting a post when saving the file after generating the tool path.
No PathPilot to be found.

Also did the data search postp and it's not in the list.


Thanks ! Brian

Re: PathPilot post .....

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the reply. My version is up to date and I can not find the posts for PathPilot. Looking in the application data folder under PostP.
Where can I download them ?

Thanks !
