@danneil7806 Год назад

This turned out to be a good tool to find the "hidden vectors" that the vector validator can't find, but when you try to generate a tool path, open vector errors pop up. When you zoom in, you see a tiny tiny problem with a vector but the scissors won't cut it out. Use the node thing to move the good vector out of the way and fix it, move the vector back.

@IDCWoodcraft Год назад

Dan, those pesky vectors can be tricky. Glad you found a good way to find the small issues that pop up now and again.

@woody987654 Год назад

As usual Garrett, a wealth of information! As soon as I watched this video, I returned to a project I was having issues with and fixed those issue straight away! Some of the issues I was having, had to do with straight line edits, for instance, you have an open ended on one end slot that measured .250" and you need it it to be .264" If you open the Snap options under the Edit menu, then look for the "Fixed Nudge Distance" you can set that to .007" or whatever you need. Then you select the nodes on say, the left side of the slot, then press and hold the "Shift + CTRL" keys then hit the left arrow key and the line between the two selected nodes will move left or right precisely .007" or whatever you have the "Fixed Nudge Distance" set to. Then repeat for the right side of the slot and move it to the right. Now your open ended slot is exactly .264" The cool thing about it, is if you have many of those slots to edit, you can select as many of those slots that you want so long as the nodes are clearly distinguishable, and that they are aligned the same way. Node editing is a Godsend! Thanks Garrett!

@IDCWoodcraft Год назад

Frank, glad you got those pesky nodes figured out when you need that dimension to be perfect. I couldn't have said it better myself, node editing is a Godsend!

@DakotahDaddy 2 года назад

This is a useful trick I have been using for a while now. It really comes in handy when you want to preserve the node placement of a section and move them together in relation to the rest of the model. Another tip to add to this is that you can also use the CTRL and SHIFT keys in combination with the cursor keys to make finer or coarser movements making it much easier to add that additional level of precision to your drawings.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Alan, I didn't know that. I will definitely get that little tip out there. Thank you.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

You're welcome Charlie. There is so much about nodes to learn. I have a whole video that goes through them

@lylet100 2 года назад

As always you have made our CNC experience much more enjoyable. Some place I saw where you can drop the amount of nodes that are in a vector. Sometimes when I create a vector and go into node editing there is a bunch of nodes and the only to get rid of the nodes is to click on each one then delete. Some place I’ve seen a much quicker way of deleting them. I’m sure you can help. Another great video to go into my “Tips from Garrett” folder. LT

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Hey Lyle. This video goes into the nodes in the way you are talking about: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Zafn3m0IkiY.html

Hi Garret, I've been using this technique for a couple years. I guess I did not realize I was doing something out of the ordinary. Lol. Thank you for sharing and helping to increase Vectric software knowledge. You can also right-click on multiple selected nodes and select smooth if that helps too.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Hey DCD. Yeah, we often just take this stuff for granted and don't realize that it is just not really known to the general public. I'll remember the right click feature and share that in a video as well

I watched a movie called "madison" the other night, do they still have boat races on the river? Thanks again.

Hey Mike. I am glad the videos are helping. That movie was shot quite a few years ago...before my time. Yes, the boat races still go on. They are a ton of fun. Are you going to come next years to watch? We'll have a blast.

@MarkJonesRanger 2 года назад

Garrett your videos have taught me a lot and wanted to say thanks. Do you have any videos on the Vectric Plate Production tool? I have a Bunch of Ranger Derby (pinewood derby) plaques to make that are carved and will be using the plate production tool to do it.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Hi Mark. I don't have a video on that. I need to get it on the list.

@IDCWoodcraft 2 года назад

Hey Mark, no brother. Sorry I don't have one on the Plate Production tool yet.

@MarkJonesRanger 2 года назад

Will look for it one of these days. I have about 45 cedar carved plaques to make with 3 fields that will change data with due in about 8 months.. I have a CRV file of what I gave them in February but those were not plate productions. Just Copies and new files created of each plaque. If you want to look at it your welcome to it.
