Hi again,

Oops - You are correct the Trial version will not save toolpaths for the Optical illusion files - Only the standard files installed with the software - Bulls Head, Open Sign, Clipart components and Cabinet door.

Sorry for the confusion.

Attached are a couple of photo's of some Cutting Trials we recently ran on a Roland Engraving machine into Slate and Wood.

I did not get it to work with even the standard files.
I would DL and try again except my v-belt is broke and I am waiting on Taig to send me another.
These carvings look good but I will never do anything on that scale.

I have figured out Mach 3 Scale Axis feature (I wasn't pressing enter after the input) so when the belt gets here I will try it again.

Here is a possible 4th Axis solution on eBay:

Don't know but remember to regen the tool path display when you zero your machine to cut.
I have noticed lately in v .017 when I regen the tool path itself disappears, but double clicking in the blank space bounded by the red lines, brings it right back.

You must always regen when you move something prior to cutting.

I too started out with a Taig and Xylotex.
I moved the motors a couple of times with the tcnc but never got far because the board cooked itself.
I have recently gotten another Xy Board and have been running M3 on it now for about three weeks.
I have watched a few videos but have not gone but the first few pages of the manual.

I am impressed that all the stuff I could design for years can now be cut in relatively short order using Mxx and this little mill.
Great software hardware combination.

Well I must say, I tried to save the Ball TP file and it did not work.
Maybe I will try one of the standard ones and see what happen.

Good Evening,
Where can I find cheap Jewelers Wax Blocks or Plastic that will burn out like Jewelers Wax?

General Mach Discussion / Re: Import BMP, JPG, Gerber and Excellon file
« on: November 18, 2005, 08:25:25 PM »

I had success once but did not cut the code now I cannot get it to work properly.
I do a lot of art but mostly things you can use DXF for. Sometimes just for fun I would like to import a bitmap just for the impression it makes as a background.

So far other than that one time when I did not cut the part it has been nothing but failures. I have a feeling that I should switch to a more powerful system, because I think it is a problem more of processing than anything else.

Hello,

You can scale / resize / move / rotate the Sample files supplied using the Download Trial Version to fit any material size and cutter geometry and still Save the CNC Toolpaths.

Select the geometry (box or Ctrl +A)
Use the Scale and Move selected vectors to modify the design as required (S and M are keyboard shortcuts)
Calculate the toolpaths required to VCarve / Pocket / Cutout etc.
Preview the toolpath simulation to check the results
Save as G-Code or any of the standard postps

If you have any other questions or need assistance please let me know,

I did try thisnthe firat time and it never worked. I have since deinstalled the program but I will re-install and tried it again.

I ended up buying an engraver attachement.
It will take at least a week and a half to modify it to fit my machine. Mean time I will try to see if this will work for me.
