The long project I just posted about in the Software section of this forum used an image imported from Vector Art's Mega Collection. I didn't have any problems and it cut perfectly.

OK - Thanks. Got it changed. That's the only icon I didn't check out.

Wolffie -

I'm using VCarve Pro. Where do I set that parameter in the software.

I've just finished my second longer project with a predicted run time of 3 hours 55 minutes. However, the actual cut time was about 2 hours 30 minutes. I had this same experience with shortened actual time on my first long project. I'm a little surprised that the software doesn't predict the time be...

I'd like to experiment with some different router bits that aren't listed in the VCarve Pro tool database. For example, I might light to try out a larger round nose or core box bit. I'm guessing that this will work if I select a similar bit in the tool database such as a ball nose and put in the cor...

I have not tried any out yet, but I am very impressed with what was sent. It's a tad pricey, but seems well worth the price...

Dale - I don't positively know the answer, but my gut would have said to cut outside the circle. In any event, can't you put in any size circle, cut it out, measure the cut diameter, and then compare that with what your were hoping to get. You could then adjust your input circle diameters according ...
