I am wondering if anyone has tried it with SketchUp? I found a script that exports from ShetchUp to STL, but I know sometimes things like that don't work as expected.
I would also be curious...
I was wondering if there is a way to evaluate the STL Importer before dropping $300? It sounds like a great tool, but it would be nice to know for sure.
I still feel like I am missing something.
Isn't the beauty of this machine that one can create beautiful CUSTOM carvings. So I have to either pay someone to create a nice looking pattern, or...
I have had this machine for 8 months now, and tend not to use it for 1 simple reason. I bought it so I could expand my furniture business to offer custom carving... and I can't figure out the...
Wow... Thanks.
So, it is nice to know that I am not the only one who has trouble with this software. I hope they make it a bit more intuitive in future releases.
Wow, I must be dense. I am usually really really computer/software savvy. I thought I had it after looking at ChrisAlb's post... but I am back to square one. Attached are my files (again), what...
Thank you for all your input. I guess I don't entirely understand how the program works yet. I am still not understanding something on this subject. It seems to look better when I set the bit...
I have been trying to figure out how to get predictable results from the CW software. I understand that it uses a gray scale to carve. I created a very simple design, Black and White. I wanted the...
I didn't save any of the MPC files because none of them were right. I am starting from scratch.
Sorry
Hello,
I am trying figure out how to carve something on a curved surface. I tried using the "dome" surface, but it doesn't seem to be able to create a severe enough arc. I attached a photo to...
Ok feel free to ridicule me... I totally missed the "height" box... and was using the "depth".
So, is there some way to define how deep the pattern is actually cut... without scaling the whole image? (black at 1/8" deep and the white at 1" or something like that)
Sorry to be so thick about...
This is exactly what I was hoping to learn. I will play with grayscale to see what happens.
Ok, another dilemma... how do you create a more 3d image... what I mean is that is seems like no...
I just downgraded to 1.126 (thanks to pkunk) but it is no better with the display issue.
I would love to know what is going on and if there is a fix. I tried emailing support (as suggested) but...
I appreciate all the input and I have checked out the tutorials and the tips and tricks.
Let me give an example.
Lets say I want to create the Trout Clock (which is for sale in the Project...
Ok, I am pretty good at learning software, but I feel like I am missing something. I understand using the stock patterns, but frankly I didn't buy the machine to make standard carvings.
Aside...
It happens in the Pattern Editor as well.
I already did... twice, is there a fix or workaround? No one responded to the email.
Can I download an older version of the software? It seems as though 1.1.3 may have been a bit premature?
I have the same problem as Doutt. Macbook Pro, 2GB Ram, OSX 10.5.4. It is really annoying, please help.
Hello,
I am hoping someone can point me in the wright direction. I just got the machine, and I am trying to create some carvings from some graphic files I have. They are basically line drawings...
