VCarve Pro v12 First Look

Published 2024-04-10
Here's a first look at the new VCarve Pro v2 features and user interface.

There is an error in the description of Keep Out Zones - the Clearance is NOT the Z clearance, it is an offset in the XY plane. I posted an updated video on how it really works:    • Keep Out Zones - I Got it Wrong!

    They half-modernized it. Still has a lot of the old-style icons, but a step in the right direction. They still have the weird thing where if I edit a tool and change the units from inches to mm, it doesn't convert the units. So if I go to a 1/8 inch end mill, it will list the diameter as 0.125 inches. So far so good. If I change units to mm, that should change to show 3.175mm, but instead it shows 0.125mm - same bug as in version 10. Same as for stepover - it should convert from inches to mm when you change from inches to mm. Why make the user convert it when the program is running on a computer and can do it?

    Thanks for the information!! What computer are you using? Yours moves very smoothly. Mine is very jumpy.
  • Silly question. How did you get the save icon on the left. By default it’s not there. TIA
