Does VCarve Desktop v. 11.06 Post Processors for Shark II

Post by bbb2541 »

I have noticed that in some of the applications, when I go to calculate my toolpath, that sometimes selection of post processors isn't available. Am I safe in assuming that the software automatically selects the processor for me for a particular carving? Like simply cutting out a profile?

The same post processor setting is used for everything unless you have the Laser Module installed in which case that uses a different post processor that must be selected first.

Sounds like you may have missed the machine/post processor selection step if you're using V11 and have no post processors in the list when you come to save. You can re-run that from the Kickstarter Wizard on the Help menu.
