11-21-2023 Q&A: Solutions and Tips for Project Zoom, Trays, Lettering, Measurements, Router Bit Organizer, 3D Tabs, Text Spacing, Two Rail Sweep, and Laser Design Rotation.

q&a meetup replays Nov 21, 2023

This Q&A Meetup provided a deep dive into VCarve Pro's capabilities, focusing on techniques for enhancing CNC projects. Highlights included troubleshooting zoom issues, creating trays, wrapping text on models, displaying measurements, organizing router bits, utilizing 3D tabs for double-sided machining, editing text spacing, and executing two rail sweeps. Participants also learned how to rotate designs for laser engraving. Ideal for users looking to refine their skills in CNC design and Vectric software, this session offers valuable insights for both beginners and advanced users.

Questions Answered in this Q&A:

  • 00:02:17 - Why when I open up this project, it's zoomed out really far like this?
  • 00:06:51 - Can we do these trays in VCarve Pro?
  • 00:10:34 - How do I wrap the lettering like in the photo?
  • 00:17:30 - Inquiring about the method to retain measured distances between two points as annotations on the drawing akin to a blueprint in VCarve Pro.
  • 00:20:44 - Trying to use this file to make a router bit organizer.
  • 00:26:43 - I would like you to explain/show how you utilize the 3D tabs with two sided models.
  • 00:33:09 - Why is it that sometimes when I use edit text spacing feature, it will work on one line and not the next?
  • 00:40:39 - Is there a way to have a two rail sweep going two ways on the same model?
  • 00:56:45 - How do I turn designs 90 degrees so I can burn a design with my laser?
