- Is there's a better way to do the 3D tabs.
- Rounding corners on a rectangle.
- When there are two bits involved, the toolpaths, both have the same name. If I edit the name when creating the Toolpath, it renames both toolpaths.
- Why would you have an allowance if you could put in the exact amount?
- Anyone know any cursive fonts for laser cutting?
- I want to add an offset around the hard area down below also, I want then all the remaining areas, I want to do a texturing on it.
- When zeroing off the machine bed and putting my machine at the zero x y and then loading my Aspire design that's set up to run using the machine bed as zero. Where do I put my machine at for the z height before starting?
- Add texture to the outside of this dish he has over here on the left. He wants to add texture to the flat areas on the perimeter, but he wants the center of the dish to still be smooth.
- Is there efficient way of repeating the tooth? I've created one tooth segment and I've tried to copy and paste it, but it's very cumbersome to get the next segment to be exactly spaced. I'm pretty new to VCarve and designing.
