In either case, when using the 1/8" cutting bit, the behavior in Designer is not correct.

With 0.125 cm diameter, Designer throws the "unknown 12288 error" when uploading the project. With 0.15...

There are tons of stroke ("S" and "s") commands in your file. These commands end the path.

The overall problem is either the source dxf contains a ton of unconnected paths or whatever was used to...

Here's the final version of the board: http://forum.carvewright.com/showpost.php?p=75941&postcount=8.

Here's the final version of the board. I made a few more minor changes to the hole spacing / alignment.

Thank you for looking at and resolving the issue in a future release.

This is one cribbage board I put together, though I've made a few minor changes since then and haven't posted the updated MPC. http://forum.carvewright.com/showthread.php?t=7354

That's a possibility, but I wanted the round effect from the 1/4" ballnose. I could also specify a '1/8" Drill' and insert the ballnose when the machine asks for the 1/8" cutting bit. Instead, I...

Haha, not too far off.

This is one of the issues I ran into where the layout in Designer and the actual carving didn't agree. The first picture is the preview in Designer; the second is the...

It's alright, just not perfect. :-)



I'll likely do that. I'm currently waiting for a response on another issue I ran into where certain paths would be cut with the wrong bit.

This is a simple maze box I put together this past weekend. Attached is a preview from Designer along with a couple actual pictures. It was carved using a 1/8" ballnose bit and a 1/4" ballnose for...

In my experience, if the "max stroke weight" option is set too low the result is an outline instead of a centerline. Attached is an example image followed by an example with "max stroke weight" too...

Quite awhile ago I purchased the "full bit set" from LHR but never got around to using a couple bits until recently, such as the Roman Ogee bits.

I've recently noticed the rout preview in Designer...

Illustrator CS2, CS3, and CS4 can do centerline tracing using the "stroke" option in Live Trace. I have no idea how the quality compares to CorelDraw.

Yosserg is correct, there appears to be a problem with the measurement verification when creating a project with metric units.

If I create a board using centimeters and place a drill hole, I can...

Yes, that's the basic process, though I use Illustrator instead of Corel.

I took your DXF, loaded into Illustrator, applied a fill to each part, exported as a PNG (see the attached PNG), imported...

Depth profiles start and/or end at 0.0" which is not the desired effect.

While Online Pattern generally works well, it should be noted the conversion is not problem free. Small details can be lost and the desired shape will not always be maintained, see...

I used the LiveTrace feature in Adobe Illustrator CS to convert the image into centerline paths and saved it as an older Illustrator 3 .ai file. (Other tools exist to accomplish similar results such...

If you have a V-Bit, give these vector conversions a try...

I took a look at the carving instructions saved on the memory card, there's nothing obvious wrong. Attached are the paths saved as an Adobe Illustrator file.

I suspect it's a firmware software...

Designer rounds all measurements, by default, to 1/128" (0.0078125") and displays only 3 decimal points of the fraction.

Yes, sounds like Mike is looking for a vector pattern from the image.

While I haven't tried to carve it, the attached vector MPC previews nicely inside Designer (1.131). I'm tempted to find some...

This is a typical problem with converting raster images to outlines. Not enough information is present in a raster image to generate accurate paths. Using a higher resolution source will minimize...

I occasionally use Illustrator to merge all the letters into a single piece instead of cutting individual letters. The process is very similar to above mentioned thread. Layout the desired text,...

The holes on this board are 1/8" in diameter and 1/2" deep, cut with the 1/8" cutting bit.

Pegs are available in many diameters and lengths, so there isn't a single standard size.
