I am a 65yo incapacitated airforce vetran, with the medication I take it makes me a bit of a dummy, I do like check lists to use until I become competent, so starter projects with written check list to down load so I can move on once I it sinks in to my thick head. I do believe you are the top gun who is clear and precise but this Aussie has a lot of personal battles to overcome. Thankyou mate for your continued professionalism, and yes my grandkids gave me the hair piece which is undectable out in the public eye. Regards David C Bell.
Garrett I have a question for you. I don't think there is a way to do this, but not 100% sure so thought I would ask you about this. My computers are in my house and my cnc is about 100 feet away out in my shop. There are occasional times that I wish I could print a copy of the project I'm working on and take it out to the shop with me for various reasons. I can do that, but the printed out copy of the project is so small you can hardly read it. Is there a way to print a copy of the project and enlarge it so that it will fill an 8-1/2 X 11 sheet of printer paper? I don't think it can be done. I've tried several things but it always comes out too small, so I thought I would ask you as you know a lot more about V-carvePro than I do. Thanks.
Jim
Very good video! I am a complete, complete beginner!
Car pool tunnel? Ha ha!
Absolute beginner here. Video was excellent. So much better then the others I tried
thanks for this. I've been using Easel and fusion 360 for about a year now and i've been seeing great things about Vcarve and wanted to give it a try. I did some tinkering on my own but wanted to get some more information and thats just what you did. Thanks a lot.
Great tutorial, I'm using the bitmap feature to create a sign design from a photo. I got snarled up by having the radio button "Group vectors" being checked on. Wouldn't let me clean up the grey scale vectors until I turned it off and tried again (the vectors were all treated as one object)…I'm learning and hoping to help others that might experience the same problem!
Bro! Thanks for getting me started!
STOP TYPING 27!!!!! lol
Make sure the design zero reference and the machine tool reference point are the same. Otherwise you will get some weird results. I learned this the hard way.
Loved the text to line Amazing feature 🙂
Best tutorial on the net, learned alot , now I'm ready to dive in
Thanks Garrett. Everytime I watch one of these videos, I pick up one of the little tricks that saves gray hairs!
will vcarve work on a prover xl 4030 genmitsu
I’m thinking of going pro from Easel, can I still grab a jpeg black and white off of google images and use it in pro? Thanks!
A good starting point video. Can't wait to continue with his series. Thank you.
Got vcarve pro software in today and installed. Machine is still a couple months
Away. Enjoyed this video learned a lot.
Very informative video, thank you for making it. It seems that some of the basics are very similar to printer graphic programs that helps make the learning curve a little easier but goes in areas that are not of concern for basic print. Again, thank you for helping to make this easier to grasp.
Useful, thank you ?
groan on the "dad joke"
Great video. Having difficulty sending filer to CNC. Do you have a video for that?
Hi Sir, There are any options for revers cutting for a any single vector please ?
as a fairly experienced fusion 360 user I decided there were some things that were just easier in Vcarve. I downloaded the trial and decided to watch this video to speed up the learning curve. Since I was used to modeling in Fusion many of the features are similar but your video saved me hours of trial and error and made a lot of VCarve concepts very clear and easy to grasp. Thanks for the video I have subscribed and will be watching more of them.
