Right, it's not a new idea...done all the time in production. You need to have control over speeds and feeds, depth of cut, etc. before it can be done practically and safely.

(Re-running an...

That was actually experimented with by one of the programmers several years ago. Unfortunately, the idea was abandoned. Apparently, it's not as easy to reliably and consistently implement from...

I also requested the ability to type in our own percentages on Draft and Feather. Perhaps we will see these additional options in the next major upgrade of Designer.

Couldn't resist giving you a sneak preview...testing new upgrade/advanced features, coming soon to a user near you! Look in the middle of the carve region on the screenshot below (I intentionally...

Hi,

Some nice suggestions there, Felix. Perhaps we'll see some of that in the future - who knows? Of course, you probably know you can have pretty much all that right now (although I'm always...

Sorry...for LHR eyes only! (I think you've already seen some via the Beta Forum)

Hello,

We can always think of ideas and improvements for the software we use. Some ideas can be easily implemented, others cannot. I also have a "list" of features I would love to have in...

Great suggestions, Clint. I hadn't thought about it until you mentioned it, but it would be a little more convenient to see the bit order list updated. Also, the desire by many of us for a pocketing...

Hi Bud,

I would assume the new layout would be made at the proper width, so that shouldn't be a factor. Unless of course (as you mentioned), if the user places a board into the machine that is a...

I don't quite follow what you mean, Bud. Could you explain that a bit more?

NOTE: when I need to re-size an entire project on a smaller board, I just make sure there are no attachments active,...

Hello,

We already have that feature - it's always been there - not as an icon or a cross hair, but no need for that, really.

Move your mouse anywhere on the screen and the info bar (lower-left...

OK, I see what you mean. The V-carve around the edge goes almost through the board (shy by only a little less than 1/16"), so if the V-carve is performed first, then the board may (possibly) be a...

I guess I'm not following you as to what the problem is. If you place a cut path (using the Cut Path function, of course) around the perimeter of the project, it will be performed last, without...

Jeremy,

Cut paths are always performed last, after everything else is finished. If you use the Cut Path tool for the outer sign shape outline, your cut outs will automatically be performed...

Great suggestion - been asking for that myself. Just today I manually created continuous vectors and assigned the 3/8" straight bit to carve out a pocket.

Glad that helped! I need a memory jog every day myself!

You can always call me too, if you have any questions you think I might be able to help with.

Hello hotpop,

Both the Make Pattern and the Edit Cut Out (the Cut Out Control Window) features were covered about a year ago in the Tips & Tricks - ISSUE 12 September 2008

Hello Leroy,

You already have that feature (cutting on a sled with stock less than .5" thick) since last year starting with Designer version 1.131 of the software! You can also specify the number...

That is a good suggestion. Could come in handy in a number of situations alright. It would make it easy to create a small, medium, and large versions of the same project without having to lay it out...

Hi Bob,

Point taken, however, the CarveWright is indeed a true CNC machine (CNC simply means Computer Numerically Controlled). The CarveWright numeric control just works differently than most...

Hi Bob - gentle correction here...

...there is no such thing as a "QUALITY" setting in the quality choice list...it is Draft, Normal, Best and Optimal:)

Here's a link I found for you that...

To clarify what Bob was saying - when uploading to your Memory Card (a dongle is a term more normally used for copy-protection hardware devices, like what I have for Cubase and for ArtCAM...

Hello,

There is indeed a very nice, new manual in the works right now. In the meantime, the Tips & Tricks can be very helpful and fills a few of the gaps.

Another side note - (not a sales...

Hello AskBud,

I'm not sure that the suggestion you submitted is actually needed. It is my understanding that software will know if you made any carve regions on the back already and will account...

That would be nice - we've discussed that before, but not sure if that's being worked on or not.
