    Re: CNC Software

    Hi Marc, I use VCarvePro6 from www.vectric.com in the UK. I highly recommend it for it's functionality and ease of use, it eliminates the need for using CAD and I also use it as a design platform. A little pricey but worth every cent! I use Mach 3 to drive my machine, also a simple interface.
    Cheers Gwyn

    Re: CNC Software

    Hi riche,

    found it and works tx.
    I have one question if I made a design in Vcarvpro and save it for mach3 it seems that the design looks like a stamp in size and the CNC looks like working on the spot. I need a design 12.6 cm width and 8.6 cm height and the cnc makes it as big as a stamp ?
    Am I mistaken ?

    Solved
    I needed to change the processorcode there are differend outputs for Mach3


    regards john

    Re: CNC Software

    I assume more than a year down the line this has been sorted? hehehe

    IF NOT - what i have found - using Aspire and VCarve - when i take an existing file and change the units i.e. from Inches to mm the scale is totally messed and I get what you have experienced. I haven't tried to carve this as you can pick up the discrepancy with the scale along left and top edges.
