As far as VCarve is concerned the .ngc is the end of a chain. You alter it by altering your project (.crv) file and then resaving the toolpaths to create a new .ngc file.

The Vectric progams don't use drivers. They don't control your CNC machine. That is the job of your control software.

You want to install the post-processor for your machine. The instructions are in the ->Help <- file.

Hi,
I've been using V12 for a while and I just up graded to the 12.013 Build. I'm not sure if this is a new problem or if I'm missing something. I have a 3d component, it's been a while since I've machined this. So I'll try and explain it clearly. This is a 2 sided job. I was working in the 2d view and moved the component so I could add a 2nd one. I want to machine 2 of these.After moving it I switched to the "other side" and the component I moved stayed where it was. It didn't move. So I checked the 3d view and got the same result. To fix it undid the move and moved it a relative distance. I then switch to the other side view and moved it the same distance, except in a negative direction. They lined up... I don't ever recall having to move a component twice when machining 2 sides. Any idea's on what's happening would be appreciated.

Really kind of confused :shock:

The above post had its own thread created. Having said that the forum it was created in is as equally out of place as this one for Cut2D.

Adze - I know it posted the wrong place. I tried to post it in the Desktop section yesterday and that one ended up in another section also. I looked to see if I could delete the post but was unable to find out how. Thank you for moving it. Hoping to get an answer to the problem I'm having.
Merry Christmas - Ed
