Hi All,
I just purchased and installed Vcarve Desktop Ver. 10 and I'm having trouble Creating Domes and Dishes,
Can anyone help?
Vectric website is NOT very helpful.
I'm also having issues with downloading any clip art.
Any help at all would be Appreciated.
Maybe some links to videos? Already search Youtube.
Thanks

I would never create any 3D model in Vcarve. Use a proper cad package and import the model to machine it.
From my very limited understanding of Vcarve,I would say this is excellent advice.My feeling is that while Vcarve seems to work reasonably well with imported .stl models it really isn't the best way to create 3D objects.Perhaps because Vectric sell higher priced packages that will do the 3d stuff and don't want to eat into that part of their market.
"Excellent advice" Cheers. I like that!
All software has it's strengths and weaknesses. VCarve is a bitmap based program while Fusion (for example) is vector based. This has consequence in both drawing and machining. ie. VCarve is excellent software for wrapping a surface on a rotary but it can't index, while Fusion 360 indexes, but can't wrap a 2D surface.
The secret is to use software for their strengths and not expect one size fits all.
V Carve has NO 3D modeling tools, so you can't really create 3D objects at all in V Carve. But you can import 3D models, and V Carve provides a few very basic editing tools for them.From my very limited understanding of Vcarve,I would say this is excellent advice.My feeling is that while Vcarve seems to work reasonably well with imported .stl models it really isn't the best way to create 3D objects.
While the 3D toolpaths in V Carve are "bitmap based", the other 99% of V Carve is vector based. All drawing is done with vectors, and toolpaths are created from those vectors, not from bitmaps.VCarve is a bitmap based program

Thanks for the info, I was considering purchasing Desktop Pro but...
You don't need that. Vcarve is EXCELLENT for machining... and machining 3D objects.
You just need to draw your models in decent software and export both the model and the vectors to Vcarve.
If you are on a budget, I recommend ViaCad. Another excellent value for money program.
