V12 brings a refreshing brand new user interface designed to enhance usability and workflow, as well as adding some exciting new features and enhancements including: Sketch carving, VCarve inlay toolpath (VCarve Pro only), Keep-out zones (VCarve Pro only), drawing in the 3D view and much more.
Brand New User Interface
Version 12 brings you a brand new modernised user interface with huge improvements to enhance your workflow and save you time.
Sketch Carving
Sketch Carving is a brand new feature that converts a high quality image or 3D model into a VCarve toolpath. The resulting toolpaths are quicker to machine than a 3D toolpath, and they produce impressive stylistic results with very little design input.
VCarve Inlay Toolpath (VCarve Pro only)
The new VCarve inlay toolpath makes the process of creating VCarve inlays quicker and easier. The toolpath automatically creates both the plug and pocket toolpaths, mirrors your geometry, and even puts the toolpaths on the right sheets.
Keep-out Zones (VCarve Pro only)
Keep-out Zones allow you to designate areas of your work bed the machine should avoid during rapid moves. This might be places where clamps, jigs, and fixtures could interfere with the safe running of the machine.
Drawing in the 3D View
You can now draw directly in the 3D view. Each tool allows you to modify key properties of shapes directly on the shape themselves using handles for easy manipulation, reducing the need for you to have to go back and forth within the forms.
Vectors in the 3D View
It is now possible to toggle the drawing of vectors in the 3D view. This is useful if you ever want to see how your geometry lines up with parts of your model or machined parts of your simulation.
Components Dropdown
You can now switch between active levels using the dropdown menu on the document toolbar. It is also possible to adjust the visibility and combine modes of levels, as well as add new levels directly from this menu, without having to go into the dedicated components tab.
Orthographic View Mode
The orthographic view removes the perspective mode on the 3D view, this is useful for when you want to see two-dimensional objects over the top of the 3D view.
View Control
The view control is an interactive shape which allows you to quickly manipulate your 3D view. You can click on any of the faces to adjust the orientation of your job in the 3D space, or drag the control itself to dynamically change how you want your job to be orientated within your view.
View Toolbar
The new view toolbar allows you to quickly and easily show or hide items from your views. You can choose whether or not you want to show; vectors, bitmaps, toolpaths, keep-out zones and components, allowing you to focus on specific tools needed for your job.
Sheet Dropdown
You can now quickly add new sheets or switch between sheets using the dropdown option on the document toolbar, reducing the need for you to navigate away from your workspace to go to a new tab.
Unified import
In this release we’ve unified vector and bitmap import so you can import all of your 2D data files from one single button.
3D Interactive Help
When working in the 3D view you now have access to live help prompts where the software will track your current tool or action and provide you with handy tips on how to use the feature, whilst providing you quick access to the relevant Help documentation
One thing I learned watching Mark Lindsay 's. Video right before I clicked on yours. You can bring back certain icons like the save icon you mentioned. Edit, options, general settings, show additional file operations, drop down, yes
Also you can draw a border around the "plug" when carving inlays. That way you don't have to pocket out the whole work piece.
awesome! thanks!
You are correct, that is a great call out, thank you!
Thank you for the information!!! Very helpful!
Another youtuber, falling into the trap of reaction content 😢 -- Thanks for the info!
