Hello All,

I am trying to download and install F-Engrave on a Mac Book Pro with no success. I found the Packaging of Scorchworks F-Engrave as an OSX Application and the instructions to run build.sh.

But no success on this point. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello  Bob,

Thanks for the quick reply.  I downloaded using link and open up the zip file which includes four files.  I selected each one with the OPEN command, but still nothing.  

Hmmmm.

Update: I was able to install and run F-Engrave on a PC WIN 10 after installing Python.  I am still trying to figure out how to do this on a Mac. It could be operator error.

I just successfully installed F-Engrave on my Macbook Air!
However, I have to update the version of X-Code first. It's a free update thru the App Store, but it takes a loooooog time.

Anyway, I am successfully using the E3 with F-Engrave and UGS on my 2013 Mackbook Air.

Yes, that is the F-Engrave version that I am using. installed it on my Macbook air, and after updating my X-Code, it works perfectly.

I'm not trying to do anything fancy just yet, but will check out Easel and some others down the road.

Thanks,
Derek
