Thread: CarveWright Designer wishlist

  1. Default

    preview icons for mpc and ptn files in windows folders would be great or as an alternative a better library system for mpc and ptn files built right into designer.

    Mt and i have been testing some of the new tools from LHR and I will tell you they are very cool indeed I can't see how Aspire could even hold a candle to Designer at this point, " I feel sorry for the CNC guys that use it at 2k per copy" I think the idea with the new tools is to become more 3D friendly and it's working. Here is a screen grab of a Flute project and a raised panal door normaly made in 3D and inported into Designer now made with the new sweep tool sets....

    PS hopfuly we not in big dodo for showing a few of them off to you guys so soon...

    Thanks, I am carving it now hopefully i can offer it at the CW show next month... the new tool sets are interactive one could make a hobbit curve on the flute rail to shape it still maintain the cross sections!

    I need a fast forward button! Popped a breaker 15 hours into an 18 hour carve. It is recarving now. But 15 hours of "air-carving"! I wish there was a faster way.

    I think if you had placed a zero depth rectangle box on top of the area you did not want to carve. The carving would have started close to where you left off.
    Using Designer 1.187, STL importer, Center line, conforming vectors, scanning probe/PE, and the ROCK chuck.

    If this true I will stop it, it still has hours to air-carve!

    I agree. Set it to zero carve & it should take up very close to where you stopped. Try to set the region as close as you can to where it needs to start up again.

    I use the "HIDE" method when I'm testing parts of a 4 hr carve. As a matter of fact
    I'm doing this right now. I carve the first part and hide the parts I don't want to carve.
    If the first part works for me, then I hide the first and unhide the second part and so on.
    I don't remove the foam out of the machine, I just add the next section to the carving.
    I repeat the hide and unhide until I'm finish, that way I can have completed carving.
    I have test carved just 1 bit with the rest of the project hidden.
    It may take a bit longer redoing the fash card, but you don'thave to recarve everthing
    and do a lot of air carving.
    Just my thoughts on the subject.
