Re: "Not responding"

Re: Vectorizing (beginner level)

I have talked to NextWave 3 times about the issue and have been forwarded instructions on updating firmware for my controller and pendant.

Transferring file from USB to Pendant (sd100)

Just starting. Cut a sample trivet easily. I made a circle pattern on VCarve and sent it to thumb drive. Connected thumb drive to pendant and the crv file is not shown. What am I missing here?
