Is there a way to upgrade for existing customers, or is the only option to purchase the new version? I haven't seen an obvious pathway for upgrading... but perhaps I just missed it.

eromran - thanks for the post... all very valuable information. bfcg didn't get the benefit of some of the private corespondence I had (offline) concerning this problem, so he only had part of the...

Thanks John... I know EXACTLY where I am going to use that. I'll post a picture when it is finished.

Eric,

Could you post an example of a pattern you used this method to produce?

This sounds interesting!

Thanks,

Steve

Sorry I didn't come through on the pattern.

My daughter unexpectedly went into labor and they needed a cameraman for the delivery... that was me!

I am now a grandpa for the second time.

It...

woodknack,

If it can wait until this evening... I would be happy to make something up for you (I'm at work and don't have access to my toys!).

Steve

I did a pattern of the nursing badge posted by Andes. I left the text off... adding the text in Designer offers more control over how it carves.

Steve

Bill,

Michael is absolutely right...

In some cases, however, there are some things that can be done to make a flat drawing look better when carved... it depends on what level of detail you...

I didn't get the opportunity to do any detailed troubleshooting... however, I did unplug the probe while in "sensor test"... it showed "closed".

I shut down the machine and restarted so that it...

Chris,

I hope you realize that the entire Forum is checking every 10 minutes or so see the finished project! I can only imagine how Alex is feeling about now.

...it's a wonderful thing you are...

Oh, I almost forgot to mention...

I LOVE the carved workshop signature on the back!

...nice touch of personality!

Thanks,

Steve

jpeter14,

Impressive!

For the box, did you use the machine to carve the columns and figures as one piece and then miter the sides together, or are these done as separate pieces?

Thanks,
...

If that's the result, how do I get it to snow here!!!:)

Steve

Alex, that's excellent! When are you inviting us over for the house warming party?

I can hear the conversation with your wife now... "honey, I have a few hundred friends coming over..."
...

Thanks Roughcut - that's good input.

I've taken the day off today and getting to the bottom of this is on my list of things to do.

Steve

Thanks LG... no luck with that either.

Quick question... it seems that the indication should go from "closed" to "open" if you unplug the probe while in the sensor test screen. However, some...

Kevin,

Thanks. Yep, checked and double-checked both the pins and debris in the plug... but it doesn't hurt to check again.

I checked the plug in the circuit board without taking the cover off,...

Amonaug - I was mistaken... I believe I have the new style z-truck as I am not able to find a "homing sensor" or a place to plug in the probe. I just remembered what I had read before I took the...

I also have a new scanning probe. I am running Designer software 1.131.
I followed the directions... I let the machine know that I have the "Cover" connection for my probe... I did the sensor...

I'm not one, but made this to assist someone who actually knows a Vikings fan.:rolleyes:

I've done a lot of carving in maple and it normaly comes out really well. Typically, my carves have been in hard maple with fairly straight grain. Never curley or soft maples... although I think...

Ike,

I sent you the file, so you may want to check your e-mail when you get the chance.

Take a look at it and let me know what you think.

Thanks again,

Steve

To answer your question, Corel X3.

As promised, I put together a "how to" document for you. It's not perfect, but it is my way of saying "Thank-you" for the contributions made to the forum.

I...

Ike,

Certainly... but not tonight, sorry. I've been working on a problem for the past several hours (see Scanning Software Problem) and I think my better-half is getting annoyed at me.

I'll...

Okay... I found the problem. I believe the ACTUAL problem was that I had too many ptn files in my Favorites.

After reading everything I could find in the forum, I didn't see anything that...
