The text tool offers a variety of options for adding text to your model. Similar to a word processor, Carveco works with the fonts that are installed on your system with options to control the size, direction, character spacing and line height. You can also constrain text to a specific area or defined vector.
In this newest addition to our tips and tricks, we're taking a look at the relationship between your vector tolerance and the Vector Doctor tool. If you've got a problem when you're trying to calculate the toolpaths for your design, scanning the design for said problem at the wrong tolerance can leave you worse off...
"I've lost my project, I can't access my toolpaths!" is something we've seen a couple times these last few weeks so we thought we'd address it with this nifty one minute video! In this tutorial we let you know how to bring back your project options, something useful to know if you close your toolpaths...
The Batch Calculate Toolpath option allows you to automatically calculate a set of toolpaths. Combined with toolpath templates, this can be a powerful time-saving operation for large production runs.
As an alternative to Vector trimming, Carveco Maker Plus and Carveco allow you to make selections for Zeroing areas of a 3D relief, based on the underlying Bitmap colours. Using your primary colour selection in the colour palette - the Zero Under Colour and Keep Under Colour tools allow you control over what areas of...
The Text on a Curve feature of the Text tool allows you to specify a vector shape or line that can be used as a guide for the text to flow along. Additional setting allow you to control the position of the text in relation to the vector guide.
In this short video we’ll be showing you how to navigate around a model in the 3D view. The topics covered include how to Pan, ‘Twiddling‘ or Orbiting, Zooming to Cursor, Preset Camera Views and turning off/on the Zero Plane.
Toolpath Templates in combination with Batch Calculate is a powerful feature that allows you automatically apply pre-created toolpaths and toolpath settings to vector artwork or vector layers.
The Weave Tool allows you to easily create a 3D weave using 2D 'Drive Rail' vectors. The generated 3D shape passes both over and under itself for a unique, decorative weave effect. This tool can also be used to generate Celtic Knots.
