Great Idea, Bud, and might I add to a later model even, by adapting a laser probe to the CarveWright which can do the same even deeper probes ... and if geared to a rotating axis, could even probe in...

Bud,
I also get error 24 when I try to upload it to the memory card and to contact LHR about the problem. I'm using 1.34.
Although I didn't try it, have you tried to make the two connected line...

Bud,
Since by its very nature a DOME has to be a continuing arc, I'm not seeing what you mean when you want a dome without an arc? To set the shape of the dome you give it a depth from a point of...

Roman,
Call LHR and explain your ciecumstances. Only they can allow reuse after the time limit.

I'd say that you made a good choice, Jim. I can't imagine not having mine, although one can't have enough toys.

Jim,

The feed rate IS established by the quality mode you set when sending the project to your CarveWright from Designer. You only have those variables, however. Remember that the carving scale...

Thanks for the corrections, Mtyferl, but since we're in that phase of understanding, actually the CarveWright is NOT a true CNC, and is a CNC printer as it uses nodes to establish it's carvings...

I thought I wrote a reply to this before, but don't see it. Hoping that I haven't missed it somewhere, I'll do it again.

You DO HAVE that option in Designer. When you choose the quality to upload...

There is that feature, Jim. In Designer, when you upload to your Dongle you can choose Draft, Normal, and Quality, which is exactly the same as your request except the words are different. Carving...

Andrea,
If you mean that you have patterns in a folder (like Favorites) within designer and you'd like to make a new folder (+ sign in front of name), then you can do it like you'd do in other...

When you say you wish the hole to be exactly in the same spot then you'd have to have the design set to the same size and then you can do it easily as is. Open your new design or design your new mpc...

John,
Perhaps I'm of the old school, but where can you possibly use a 32bit color. I have a cadre of printers and the best they will do is 300ppi and 24bit color. I have PhotoShop CS4 extended which...

Pete,
Most of us have wished for the same ability from either Adobe Illustrator, CorelDraw, or even Xara and perhaps someday that'll happen. It's more likely that if anything, it would be something...

Actually, the one I like a tad better is SnagIt by TechSmith because of all the extra things it'll do for you, but after a free trial period it costs. http://www.techsmith.com/ Usual disclaimer, my...

Eva,
Being able to stop a project completely and then when you restart, have it begin where you left off has been on the wish list almost since any of us first started. Perhaps someday that can...

Raymond,
Have you used the CW flash card Dongle at all yet? Once you have completed a MPC project in Designer, then File, Upload (with your flash card in the Dongle) and in the Flash Card Menu on...

John, if you do a search on Dust Collectors and CW tables/cabinets you might come up with an excellent way to capture most of any type of dust caused by bit carving on ANY material. Be sure, the...

Not exactly, Ken, except you could make that into a proper sled for the SELECT BIT method by making roller rails around the sled edges and having the cutouts where the SELECT BIT path depths would be...

Amonaug,

Note that I have outlined TWO procedures. The top is using the CUT PATH method ... with missing center to the sled. Cut path will go to depth of the wood, which in this case would...

RFMorris,
To limit through cutting damage to your sled, if all your path cuts are inside the wood boundary, then you can make the sled with it's center missing, having the wood rest solidly on an...

Although that would be nice to see a ruler built in Designer like you have in vector programs such as CorelDraw, Xara and Adobe Illustrator, you already have very good ways of measuring, of course:...

That's been on the Wish List for a long time now, JW. Although I've stopped a carving, removed the wood and then replaced it and had the machine begin carving all over again without any cuts/carving...

How about a note pad with the name of your carving file (MPC) and what your intent is. If you keep the note pad near your carver, that should help.

Ed,

??? You just described how you now CAN make a sign wider than 14.5". The trick is to design the full sized sign in something like CorelDraw and be sure the parts are no wider than the CW can...

One of these days ... maybe!
