    Yes, 2.007 would be the default. (The last Designer installed will be the default.) You would have to open 1.187 first and then open the mpc from inside 1.187. Double clicking on the an mpc or ptn in Explorer will cause the default program to open the file.

    As long as you saved the mpc in 1.187, it will be 1.187 format.

    Thank you, cnc carver for the reply. I've been trying to learn some 3rd party software and it is not easy one thinks. Its like starting the carvewright programs not having a clue on what button to push.

    Thanks gentlemen, I just came home from work. I laid out board and will start carving in am, this looks very nice. Thanks again and I will let you know how Ilsa likes it. One other question, on best quality, it takes 10.5 hours. Can you pause a carving and then come back later and restart with no problems. In case I wanted to start this evening for a few hours and finish in AM.

    yes you can pause a carving. Just press the stop button once to pause the process and for added safety raise the clear cover.
    When ready to start up, close the cover. You will see a prompt about the cover being open, press yes. Then the prompt to continue or abort. Press yes to continue.

    The carving came out nice, but, it was a pain in the blank. It was an 8 ft carving and on the best quality was 21 hours. Never got done as it was one axis stall after another. Board was hardwood and I determined it was just to heavy for this fragile little machine to handle (the board was supported well with my shop rollers). I cut it into 3 sections and they all carved fine (7 hours each). However, each carving carved a slightly different size for whatever reason, same carving layout on each of the three pieces.

    Howdy,

    If they came out different sizes, then you allowed scaling during the initial project setup. If you don't allow scaling, they will come out at exactly the right size. Perhaps the following article may help you avoid that in the future:
