This is mine. The outer tracks are wider than 4ft and are used to hold down a full 8x4 sheet.

It all depends on what you have showing in the Layers dropdown list rather than what you have visible. In your original example if you turned off the "Profile - Cut Thru All" and "Pocket - 0.032 cut depth" layer but have the "Pocket - 0.032 Cut Depth" layer as the active (the layer displayed in the ...

Welcome.

The shank size doesn't matter to the software. The diameter you enter when creating a new tool or editing an existing one is that of the cutting portion of the tool. So in your case you would enter 0.0625 as the Diameter (D).

When you join vectors you are in essence creating a completely new vector that will be placed on the active layer. That is what you're seeing. It's better to do all the vector editing you need before placing them onto layers or to make sure that the active layer is the layer you're working on at the...

I can't find the thread but from what I remember the later version was a minor one only to address an issue that very few people would come across. The Trial version for download is 1.025.

If you really want it then the best thing is to contact support@vectric.com and ask.

Do you have the preview quality set to best? Look on the Toolpaths menu at the Preview Simulation Quality setting.

The picture shows what I see when I toolpath your file with a smaller material size but still the same frame dimensions. No signs of jaggies or missing areas.

If you go to the Cut3D File menu there is an option to save a shaded image.

Welcome.

That file is created with a trial version of the software so only you (or Vectric) can open it.

Could you post a screenshot instead?

The easiest one to use would be the DXF (http://images.autodesk.com/adsk/files/acad_dxf0.pdf) file format. There are lots of examples of converting to it from point data such as you have on the 'net.

Google for "CSV to DXF" as that's probably the most common one.

How do you know that background is solid black? What the eye sees isn't the same as what a program sees. I expect there are some variations of shade.

I'm presuming you're not really using a piece of material 600in x 400in? Your problem may simply be a resolution issue with the preview with such a large material area compared to the size of the part. I reduced the material size and down and it all looked ok with a profile toolpath. The vectors loo...

This one maybe? - http://www.vectric.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=38&t=7173

Welcome. If you want to change the type of a toolpath completely (from profile to pocket) then you will have to delete the toolpath and create a new one. If you want to change some details of an existing toolpath then you can edit it by double clicking on it in the list or highlighting it and clicki...

Look at the Array Copy (Block Copy) tool on page 75 (v6.5) of the Help. That will do exactly what you're looking for.

8 amp seems very low for a 2hp spindle on 230v. My 2.2hp one needs a 20 amp connection and a friend of mine has a Chinese 2hp one that we had to hook up to a 16 amp breaker.
