Drag Knife Gadget for 6.5?
Hi. Just got my CNC up and running again after 5 years and was wondering if the drag knife gadget is available for version 6.5?

Re: Drag Knife Gadget for 6.5?
The dragknife toolpath is one that installs with the main program so if you haven't got it installed then there probably isn't one. Had a quick look on the gadgets page & it looks like they only go back as far as V8 but I can't see the dragknife gadget listed anyway

It may have been built-in gadget but it does’t appear to have been a separate add-on gadget as this snapshot from 2012 shows.

I would contact Vectric Support first, my guess is that the gadget didn't exist back when V6.5 was released. If the drag knife gadget did not exist then maybe an upgrade would be a good idea
The upgrade price is the same no matter what version you are upgrading from. So much has been added to the software since V6.5 that I wouldn't know where to begin. You could always download the latest trial version & have a look for yourself

Re: Drag Knife Gadget for 6.5?
The gadget came out in v7. I remember it being available elsewhere (perhaps Donek) before that but I could be mistaken. Interestingly the v7 one is a compiled or obfuscated LUA file rather than a standard LUA text file as it is now.
