So when I send the file to the cutter it tell me to place the "eye" above the printed first mark, then it go on and read the positions of the other marks and make the association with the marks in the cutting lines PDF. I mean it read where it must cut from that marks that are included in both files. Now this is specific to this optical registration mark cutter and the likes of it. I usually work with 3 layers in affinity and then save a PDF from this with the marks and the graphics and a separate one with the cutting lines and the marks (again maybe your cutter have no use for the marks layer), I print the graphics PDF and feed the other PDF to the winplot software of the cutter which read PDF so it show one file with the marks and the cutting lines. One layer is for the cutting marks for the cutter laser eye to read (for my cutter must be included in everything, printed and in the cut file), one layer for the graphics and one layer for the cutting lines. I use a summacut d60fxse, I make a 3 layers document in affinity (or illustrator previously and I guess could work in corel too). New functions and bug fixes is definitely worth changing old habits for. I might be making more work for myself that way as layout in the cutting software is nowhere near as accurate as Affinity Designer.Īlso, I think right. I usually make my design in Affinity Designer and create my cutlines in my cutting software. Hey it ok to ask what cutter you are using? I am just curious as I saw you have the cut line there. Now if I select one object from the graphic layer and try with marquee again, it only select the objects in the layer the selected object is (same with artboards). First I start with no selected object, the marquee select everything just fine. It is labels, there is one layer with the graphics and one with the stroke where the machine cut. Maybe this is how it is and just now noticed? If I have something selected in artboard 1 and try to select more things with the marquee from neighboring artboards it only select objects in the selected artoboard. This happen when I am in layer 1 and have at least one object there selected and try to select everything with marquee but the marquee only select objects in that layer. I'm in doubt now if it was even different and I'm mistaken. It seems I was mistaken it wasn't a 1.8.3 problem. Hello I had the very last for windows, 1.8.3 I think? Anyway I moved down to 1.8.2 now and just recreated it in it. ![]() If not, can you upload a file where you know it happens and provide me with some steps on how to recreate it? I think you can enable inches in Marlin but I didn’t want to risk it since my MPCNC is running good as is.What version were you seeing this behaviour in? I realise you have downgraded now but perhaps you or upload a video of this happening so I can see this in action. I also like that I can create files in Carveco in inches and the postp will export in correct metric to run with Marlin. I decided to just remove them from the postp because I don’t see any advantage of using them if they did work. I tried to get G2/G3 arc movements to work and failed. It’s nothing more than a formatting for how the Goode is exported. You can open it with notepad and make changes. The female is pretty straightforward.Īlso I have modified the post processor for my needs. For Vcarve inlays you will need to spend some time understanding starting and max flat depth for the male part. Heck skip take out food once a month and you got the 15 bucks. On the other hand Carveco Maker at 15 a month is doable for me. I just couldn’t see paying the upfront cost of Vectric. Once your ready for inlays then I think Carveco and Vectric are equals. It’s pretty straight forward using the tips from V1 Engineering. ![]() If you have no experience you could start there. ![]() I started with Estlcam and learned quite a bit. I think it would fall in the intermediate category if your just starting out.
