And now the same exercise using groups.

Situation 2
Main carved region with 1 or more carved regions or patterns not overlapping nor are contained within each other
If you absolute depth control...

OK, here we go. This is a non-domed main carved region with non-overlapping inner regions and patterns - no groups.

Exercise 2 & 3 pdf file and mpc file were updated to be clearer. If you have the old ones, they may be a bit confusing.

I hope he does. I bet there are more than a few people trying to figure out how carved regions work.

Bud, feel free to use the attached files. By the way, I will be updating them, tweaking them...

Ken,

Thanks for looking at this and respnding. I have struggled for a while with carved areas. I think I am getting closer to understanding the behaviors. What you described does not make...

I have asked a few questions on these forums and I think it is time I provided some information instead of just taking information.

I have been fighting with Carved Regions within Carved Regions...

I have been experimenting with large carved regions and experienced the some crashing. It seems to happen when I've been making lots of changes and have multiple MPC files open at one time. It's...

Everybody,

Thanks for helping. I am getting closer to the design. I have incorporated your suggestions and findings.

I am making a musical instrument called a Krar. This is the top half of the...

Bud,

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't solve the bigger issue. In the final design, I will have 4 small carved regions within the large one. Yes, all the samll areas will be domed, too.

All,

I am doing something wrong and I cannot figure it out. I've searched the forum, watch Bud's videos, and played with Designer for a few hours and cannot get it to work correctly.

I want to...

Thanks for the insight. I will take a look at the videos and play around with the tool some more.

I just started using the pattern editor on a scanned object. I can't figure out how to use the fill tool. I use the rectangle selection to outline what I want to fill, I then use the Dropper Tool...

Here is my source of rare earth magnets. http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/

The site has a lot of information about magnets and the amount of pull force.

I have had this same issue. It drove me crazy. I have a "B" series machine with the Rock Chuck. When I put the bits in the chuck a little too far and expose less than 1.5", I get this message. If...

Thanks for the suggestions and questions. Today I set the board to various thinknesses, 2", 1", .75" and got the same result. It says it is checking for board thickness. The z-truck goes up and...

Thanks, Bud. Since the documentation says the CW handles wood up to 5" thick, I would assume this is a bug.

Jeff,

Thanks for the reply. No warnings are given. The two mpc files are identical except for the depth of cut is .75 instead of .5

It goes through the normal intialization but stops before...

I should clatify what I am attempting to do. I have a 3" thick board. I want to cut two grooves in it 3/4" deep. If I setup to cut that deep, it does not even start the cut.

Oops, forgot two additional items:

1. I am using a piece of wood 3" x 10" x 20"
2. The problem scenario is after finding the surface of the wood, it attempts to find the thickness of the work...

I am consistently having a problem with one of my vector cutting designs. I submitted it to LHR and got a response, no problem found. I can reproduce it at will. Any thoughts to why I cannot cut 3/4...

Just ordered one. It's on sale.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I am thinking of getting the scanning probe. I currently have the rock chuck installed. Are there any problems with using the probe with the RC?

As always, thanks for the help.

I purchased the dxf importer a while ago. I have imported several files that I created using Adobe Illustrtor and saved as dxf. That works like a charm. When I attempt to import the files in the...

I am new to STL imports. As a matter of fact have never imported one. A friend sent me this dxf and STL for a guitar bridge. He created it in BobCAD v23 and "saved as" DXF and STL. I cannot...

Happy Holidays to all.

I am designing a project that has parallel 1/8" cuts that are 5" long. It starts flush with the surface of the board and ramps down to 1/2". Is it possible to do this?
