Engraving Sub-Forum?

[cut more]

Hi Brian,
I saw a wizard in mach 3 this weekend for making text, I did not use it but it looked easy to use. You might try that for the text part. Sorry, I have not used v carve.

Hi Brian,

What CNC machine are you running?

Have you looked at the Text Engraving video Tutorial on the Vectric web site?

See > http://www.vectric.com/vcarve-downlo...eTutorial9.exe

If you need help with a project drop an e-mail to Vectric Support.

I would like to know the process of setting up a file for engraving a 1 x 2 brass plate for a trophy. Thanks Brian

Tony,

Sorry I did not answer your question fully. I have a CAMaster SR-23 with a 2hp HF spindel with 0-24k rpm and ball screws which give me a resolution of 0.0001".

I just finished watching you video and it gave me alot to go on.

Also, in the video the program title displayed VCarve Pro 5. Has there been a recent release? Just bought your program two weeks ago.

BTW, For being such a newby, I realy love your program. It has made my move into CNC very easy.

Thanks,

Brian

Hi Brian,

The VCarve Pro5 was the default name that was given to that particular job when we were recording the video.

The current version of the software is 3.102 and we are planning to release version 4 in a couple of months. Because you have only just purchased the software you will receive version 4 as a Free Upgrade.

I hope the videos help and let me know if you have any questions,

Tony
