Dogbone gadget won't install

Post by janders »

I'm trying to install the Dogbone gadget into VCarve Pro 10.512 on Windows 10 running under Parallels on a Macbook Pro. I download the installer and run it and it gets to the part where it lists what components to install... and there's nothing listed (see attachment). When I finish out the installer wizard, of course, the Dogbone gadget is not in the Gadgets menu.

Anybody have an idea how I can get this gadget installed? I really need it. I can't imagine having to hand draw all those dogbone fillets.

Can you not use the fillet tool under edit objects?

If you are running a .EXE file then it’s for 9.x and below:

is for v10.x

Fillet tool is good if you only have a handful to create.

Good point. I definitely can for small projects. It just becomes really tedious on large jobs with dozens of parts. I do a lot of jobs with mortise & tenon joints, box joints and tab & slot joints. I'm not super excited about having to manually apply dogbones on every interior corner.

You are a legend. That was the problem. My Google search took me to an older dogbone gadget page.

A thousand thanks!!

Funny, whenever I search for a gadget for my v9.5 install I keep get v10.x ones...
