Once you have completed your design in the drawing tab, you then go to the toolpaths tab to create the necessary toolpaths (profile/pocket/vcarve etc.) for your design. Preview the toolpaths you have created then if OK, generate each toolpath in a separate file (if you are using different bits) and save them to your USB thumb drive and transfer to the Onefinity Controller. They will appear with a filename followed by .ngc extension.
I'm making the sketches and extruding and piecing together the project in fusion (free) then moving the pieces to make a cut plan, then still working out which file format to get it to vcarve. my maker space uses vcarve to make the gcode and run the shop sabre, so I can't deviate from that.
For what I'm doing vcarve sucks for the planning stage, and I can't run the project from fusion. Fusion seems like the best option for making my model even if I have to then take it apart to lay everything out for the cuts.
So I've read several threads and have used various ways to approach conversion of a fusion 360 file to dxf or something readable for vcarve (we have a shopbot which we primarily use vcarve for). Basically I found a solution on youtube that seems reasonable: projecting the sketch face of each component to save as a dxf. However, this is not entirely working. If there is an easier way, please let me know. Otherwise, please help me and point out anything I may have done incorrectly.
Hello we are new to lightburn and laser itself. we designed a rummy game on lightburn. we will be burning all the text and images of the game onto wood using lightburn. we then want to drill the peg holes and cut in card pockets using our cnc router. Is there a way to save what we did in lightburn into a different format like .BMP, .JPEG, GIF, TIF, TIFF or some other format so I can transfer it to vectric vcarve pro. thank you
Hello Jeff. yeah when I downloaded lightburn I was quite impressed on the amount of different buttons that there were for a $40 program, compared to $700 for vcarve. My wife will be using our laser more than I will so she has been studying lightburn a lot more than I have. I imagine that I will be moving over to using lightburn more as time goes on. But for the moment I probably stick with vcarve at least until things slow down a little here. thank you
Thank you! Aspire is built to directly interface with vcarve, correct? I have read that exporting from shapr to vcarve creates lots of problems with the vectors duplicating and intersecting to such an extent that it is too complicated to clean up. I have vcarve but not Aspire,have you exported directly from shapr to vcarve successfully without having to go through Aspire? Thank you again
Again, thank you so much. Shapr looks amazing to me and I am considering it to design wood furniture that has carving elements such as scrolls, curves, and graphic etc. Buying the iPad for shapr is the issue for me, and I just want to be certain that shapr will interface well with Vcarve as we had someone send us a project made in shapr and after importing into vcarve there were a lot of problems with the vectors and I have read of similar issues from other users, but it sounds like you have had success in this area. Very grateful for your replies
Has anyone been able to run vcarve pro on a Biesse Klever. If so what did you have to alter in the post processor. Tech support with vcarve told me that they would not be able to help me past there stock biesse post processor.4/19/14 #2: Vcarve and Biesse ...

I really wanted to use Vcarve with my biesse but in reality I found my machine would only handle 1000 lines of code and the way they handle arcs with small segment line the 1000 lines ate up pretty quick. Also they did not want to make any effort at all to help me with a tool file at all. so I would guess the support would be the same way.11/3/14 #6: Vcarve and Biesse ...

most of the issue lies around the multi center and the first work begin line needing to be modified. Ask Biesse if they have the converter you need to convert the standard code into the correct code to run the machine.11/3/14 #7: Vcarve and Biesse ...

Running Vcarve on a 2016 Biesse Klever.Recently I got in contact with Courtney he has a written a working Post Processor that works with Vectric and Vcarve Pro, he provides the Post and support for a fixed fee to make it work with Rover and Klever Maschines
