Yes ArtCam is expensive but nearly everyday I am glad my wife made me buy it.
V Carve is fine but attached (I hope) is one photo showing an extra pimple in a sign. It turns out that there were extra vectors between the "r" and "s". Where did they come from? I have no idea especially when the original was simple text, no other graphics or any other form of drawing in the file. The file was created entirely in VCarve. This job had to be re done which is expensive.
This extraneous adding of vectors is a great frustration and the times it has happened I have not been able to replicate it, yet but I am getting there.
I will post a couple of photos of some comparisons between ArtCam and VCarve but it will have to wait until after this week as the CNC is currently working 12 hours per day and my old bones need sleep.
VCarve is a very good package and it does a lot of things very well but it does not produce the same quality of output that can be produced in ArtCam. Perhaps my perceptions would be different if I had started with VCarve and not ArtCam.
My two bob's worth.
Regards,
David
