Lettering Toolpaths

Post by hdtheater »

I posted this on the Vectric forum as well, but did not know if this might be specific issue to the Shark, so I posted here as well.

I am working on some lettering toolpaths and the lettering is coming out a little funky.

You can see it very pronounced in my letter E. This is happening with letters that are still editable text and letters converted to lines. The preview in VCarve does not show this.

I am sure there is just a checkbox that needs to be selected to fix this. Anybody know how to fix this one?

Thanks,

Eric,

Read this post. http://www.cncsharktalk.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=977 Look for Paul's reply. It should help get rid of the curvies.

Thanks Buc!

That was it. Took me a while to find the folder Vectric puts post processors in now. Turns out the one I had was missing a lot of updates from Next Wave. I downloaded the most recent and made the change.

Thanks again,

-Eric
