Hello,Ive recently started to endeavor into the wonderful world of CNC.
Vectric VCarve Desktop is an excellent choice for those who are serious about making great signs and general projects. VCarve Desktop provides a powerful but intuitive software solution for making art, decorations and functional parts with your MillRight CNC machine. There are tools for 2D design and calculation of 2D and 2.5D toolpaths and along with the ability to import and toolpath a. Aspire and VCarve customers can also use the Portal to download the files for the Clip Art included with their software. Training Material Software specific video tutorials, tips, tricks and downloadable supporting files.
On my first big project, I used Adobe Illustrator to create all the vectors needed.
What I came to find was that a lot of the vectors had problems when importing them into Vcarve. Some had many lines drawn on top of each other. Some lines were vectors in themselves, meaning the line was enclosed on all sides creating a rectangle. Some closed vectors were not truly closed. In just about every case, I had to trace all my hard work in Vcarve Pro 8.5
Im sure there is some 'treatment' that I could have done in illustrator to make vcarve happier.
I would love to hear how you guys create, treat, and export vectors from Adobe Illustrator for minimal issues when creating tool paths in vcarve.
