How can I make it so that the step has the external or male piece and the embra fits and does not go to the bottom? And the other question is how to do this with letters that have centers? greetings from Mexico 🟩⬜🟥.
Hello... there is a link in the description (under the video window) to the project files. www.vectric.com/support/tutorials/aspire/?playlist=getting-started-with-vectric-software&video=import-vectors-and-create-profile-toolpaths
Once you purchase the software you will have access to the free clipart that is included in the software. There are a few Free projects over at Design and Make you can download - store.designandmake.com/theme/FreeModelsProjects
Every video I watch and follow along with, always puts my plug and pocket on top of each other on the same board. Nobody shows how to create separate boards for each one and mine always creates 2 toolpaths, one on top of the other. Never works and I can't figure it out.
Hello... I do point out that you should create the 2 sheets you need for the pocket and plug. If you do this ahead of time you will see in the VCarve Inlay Toolpah and option to pick the "Plug Destination Sheet", choose the sheet you would like your "Plug" vectors to be placed.

Hello Chuck. Unfortunately free projects are only available in the current version of the software (at time the project is released). IF you follow along with the video you should get most of the info to recrate the vectors and tooling in your version.
hey there, im having a problem with the fretboard radius. im doing everything exactly the same as the video, yet for some reason; my fretboard radius is coming out wrong. im getting 9.5 at the last frets, but the radius compounds up to 7.25 at the nut. any idea why? Thanks!
I have Vectric Vcarve desktop, updated to 12.8 and I cannot work out how to see the option for adding a dimension I like you have done 2.59. What am I missing?
Hey, thank you for this video, do you know if it’s possible to do slicing on a 3d model that has all sides? Like a 3d print file. I was trying to import those stls but keep getting areas where the software fills in and ruining the object.
@@vectric thank you, I’m on a trial so I don’t think I’m eligible or I’m not sure but if you’d make a video of it that would help many, beleive it or not there is literally not a single example. I tried double sided, even 4 axis, but the models on the “negative” areas getting extra materials calculated so it can be carved. But what I’d like to do is to use aspire just to slice up a complete 3d object. Thank you
I'm learning more, but I spent 20 minutes trying to find the shortcut to bring up the floating dialogue box, finally saw where you clicked that slide bar. Just takes a few times to catch it all. Thank you. Is there any of way to call it up or bring it up? What is the brand of the Gel Stain you used? Unable to read the brand.
Hello and thanks for the comment. Yes in the 3D view, once you have a component selected and in transform mode (2 clicks) then you will see the floating icons in the 3D View. There will be one that looks like a "settings" icon. If you can't find it please email support@vectric.com and they can help. :)
Hello and thanks for the question. Create a vector around the part you leaving the boarder out side of the vector. Then in the Sketch Carving toolpath have the bitmap and the vector(s) selected and choose the option in the "Machine Limit Boundary" to use "Selected Vector". That should do the trick. :)
Thanks for the great project. I don’t have Vectric Software but could not resist making this project. I copied this design and adapted it for my software. Thanks again 🙏🏼
Thanks, I need lots of V12 modeling videos, since I've been using Vectric for several years but just upgraded to Aspire since V12 and most of the info I find is on older versions. Thanks, I will be at the meeting in Roundrock Tx. in OCT '24 hope to see you there.
I have downloaded the file for the Book Pile Box. In fact, I downloaded it 5 times to make sure this wasn't a problem in my download. I have started the VERT_Two-Side_LID_and_SPINES.crv program but there are only 2 toolpaths in that .crv file, which are: 3D Finish .125" TBN & Drill Holes .25" UPCut EM, and are the toolpaths for the first side. I believe I'm missing 2 toolpaths, the ones for the 2nd side (part flipped) to machine the rabbet cuts and to machine the cutouts. If I need to create those toolpaths myself I need to know, I'm on a bit of a time restraint. Up to this point everything has been great, having finished the VERT_Box_Sides_Layout.crv program.
Does anyone know if the 'trial version' is a little different from the bought version (Version 12) ? I want to buy Vcarve... (currently use Carbide Create) and want to make sure I can navigate Vcarve's software. But I'm having trouble doing so with the trial version. I don't see an 'undo' button. If I choose a pocket tool path by accident, I dont see a way to get out of that to choose a different one. I can't even figure out how to choose a different bit when I want to create a tool path. It's stuck on 1/4" end mill. And what I'm seeing in this video is different than what I'm seeing in the trial version.
Hello Brent... The trial version should mirror the release version. If yours is not I would suggest you contact support@vectric.com and they can get you all sorted out.
Hi there, this is a Aspire only feature. In VCarve Pro you can only import models, take a look on our website to find out more about the different product features: www.vectric.com/compare/ hope this helps!
Hello and thanks for the question. Short answer... I could have :) I was just not all that confident in using the surfacing bit, and was worried it might cause more chipping... but I could be wrong. If I had more then on kick at making this I probably would have given it a try to save time.
This is a great projet I really love this, so much so that I'm going to make some for the Christmas fairs we will attend next November end December. Thank you so much
Hello, I actually used the old Ctrl+Shift+h option (Ctrl=Copy, Shift=About an Axis, h or v = the axis). This has been around for a long time and should have mentioned it. You also could have used the mirror tool, like I did earlier in the video. Sorry for the confusion.
Super nice and instructive video. I'm so eager to use this new feature, having seen your cutting board I'm even more eager My next video will be about some V carve inlay I did, I cut them a week before the release of V12... I even say in my video that I'm excited about this new feature. Thanks again Todd
Thanks for that!!! The new feature really makes it easy for a new to V-Inlay user. Knowing how to do it from scratch has its benefits too. I'll be watching your video!!!
How come you don't compensate the material thickness when setting up the spoilboard dowel holes on the second side like you do in this tutorial: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OxJQsdx8F0Q.html What critical factor determines which operation to use? Sometimes things work, sometimes they don't and seldom do I know why.
Hello and thanks for the question. Because we are cutting the holes directly into the spoilboard we do not need to. Your work material is off the machine and we are cutting the mirrored (the flip direction you would have chosen in your job setup) version of the dowel holes into it. If you remember in the video I copied the ones from the front to the back, so the software took care of the mirroring for me. We just zero or set "Z" from the spoilboard. The process of using the asymmetrical dowel pattern is perfect if you want to insure when you flip the material it lines up properly... the other way works as well but you have the added factor of the possibility of flipping it the wrong way.
@@vectric thank you for the response. Can I use this process for all my 2-sided 3D carvings? (please say yes) Are there situations where I need to compensate for material thickness when drilling into my spoilboard if I am already zero'ed off the spoilboard surface? (Like with the Z-Probe?) (PS I'm using a Genmitsu 4030 with UGS)
Hello... The process of learning the controller software for your CNC is not something we offer seeing as we do not make it. If you contact your CNC manufacturer, they will be happy to help.
@@vectric I just made my CNC. I’m trying softwares before I make the decision to buy one. I can use full functionality on Fusion 360. Your trial is very limited and I will not invest more time because you don’t let me test accordingly. Thanks.
Hello we use "Everbuild DOUBLE-SIDED CLOTH CARPET TAPE MESH CLEAR 25M X 50MM", it was a 60 degree vbit and the link to the other video is - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zui8vL_SmVk.html Hope that helps...
Wow!! Video is 8 years old and not a single comment. I picked up a few toolpath strategies I can benefit from. Going from 9 hours of machining down to less than 3 is an enormous improvement! Just requires taking another look at available alternatives. Thanks for the video!!
Fabuloso e increibe la nueva version de Aspire 12, gracias por compartir y enseñarnos, seguire con la version 10.5 , no hay dinero para comprar la version original, gracias saludos desde Colombia...
¡Gracias por el comentario! Lo sentimos, no estás en condiciones de actualizarlo, pero es bueno tener el software. Si las cosas cambian en el futuro, ¡tennos en cuenta! ¡Mantente a salvo! --------------------------------- Google Translate ---------------------------------- Thank you for the comment! Sorry you are not in a position to upgrade, but that is a nice thing about owning the software. If things change in the future, please keep us in mind! Keep safe!
Hello Alan... we would be interested in knowing more about this. Could you please email support@vectric.com with the issue... so we can make sure we support as may situations as we can.
Hello... this is actually a very old video. You might be better off looking at this page for newer content... www.vectric.com/support/tutorials/aspire/?search=Two&video=how-to-create-a-two-sided-project
I wish there was an easy curve tool similar to the b-spline pen mode in Inkscape. I still find it easier to create my vector drawings outside of aspire, which is crazy considering the cost vs a free tool like Inkscape.
