Re: Other CNC Design Programs and Post Processors

Thanks Tim, As always your on top of things! I hope I will not have to send the files to VCarve as most of my work will be 3D (2.5D) and I'm not sure if VCarve will save my files so I can get a good G file to run. I will be loading BobCam this weekend and going through all the video training lessons...
