After engraving the result isn't the same as in the preview, at the start/end of letters the machine seems to plunge in a little If it is not visible in the preview then there are two possibilities: The physical tool has a smaller angle than was specified in the tool database. Example: a 20° bit us...

I have five 100.00 bills flapping around in the wind that just can't wait to upgrade to the newest upgrade

My interpretation of that info about open vectors is that you can have open vectors within a closed boundary.

Ted is correct. If I place a closed vector around the open vector it will nest them

The documentation says that, but I am unable to get nesting to work with open vectors.

I'll send a note to support@vectric.com for clarification.

I'm trying to nest a closed vector. Except it is not a closed vector. Choose Edit/Selection/Select All Open Vectors Screenshot 2024-03-24 115633.png It selects the object you are trying to nest.

Open the menu item "Options".

Scroll to find the heading "3D View Settings"
Scroll down to the 10th item "Use Software Renderer"
Change from "No" to "Yes"

HOW DO I FIND THE GADGET WEB SITE

Link: https://www.gadgets.jimandi.com/

Your best answer will come from emailing sales@vectric.com From the FAQ: Minor updates are always free to anyone who has the same major version (e.g V11.5 will be free to all owners of V11.0 software). Any major version of the software released within 12 months of you purchasing the software is supp...

Is it 2D (just vectors) or 3D (vectors and models)? A photo would help.

You can find CAD design services on gig work sites (search for cad design services) such as Fiver.com, Upwork.com, etc. Use a search term such as:
CAD design Vectric

Disclaimer: I've never used those sites for design work.

If you are using a 3D model for the rotary then you may see substantial times savings using Milo Scott's continuous rotation strategy. For some jobs this method can reduce the machine time by 80%.

I would not do that as a rotary job. I think that is a better candidate for segmenting and slicing. From the Help file: The Segment tool can be used to split a 3D model into separate chunks or segments to allow them to be machined using a 3-axis CNC machine. To get to the segmenting tool you first h...

You may wish to review how the bit is mounted in the collet. I would expect more clearance between the cutting portion of the bit and the collet nut. The shank of the bit should not go past then top of the collet.

For reference:

WinCNC responded and explained: The small green box to the right of the A axis position indicates a material offset. The L28/L28.1 restores the machine zero but doesn't clear material offsets. You can remove that offset using a G92.1A command and that should get the L28.1 command working as expected...

These types of issues are best reported to WinCNC directly
