Welcome! From Youngsville, NC

It's a great money making machine! I have the SP300V and don't regret it. 98% of my work fits the 30" width limit. Only gripe is that it is a little on the slow side, especially at normal and high print quality. If I did this full time and 'had' to make a living on it, then I would definitely...

Way to Go!:thumb:

Yea, that's the bad part about demos...but the good part is that it costs less than $500.00 (US). I will check to see if it outputs to your CNC tonight when I get back to the shop. Will let you know.

They do have a functional demo, but I believe it will only output cnc files for the demo's that are provided with it. They do this so you can actually try it from start to finish on your own system, but limit it in that you can only do their files.

the 'Rendering' is 'built into' the software..it's a part of VCarve PRO. It's not a plugin or seperate program but a 'function within VCarve Pro'. They have a free demo you can download from their website so you can try it out.

I have a ShopBot PRT4848 and I love it! I use mostly CorelDraw X3 and V-Carve Pro software for generating my CNC files. I just couldn't justify the cost of Enroute or ArtCam and can't deal with the 'Exceeded allowed # of vectors" or "you can only use 10 fonts" messages unless you send us more...

Geary, Yes, that is only a rendering and not an actual routing. I used V Carve Pro software (www.vectric.com) to do this in. The software lets me do a layout or import a layout from Corel Draw, assign router bits to the vectors and render a preview to see what it will look like. Once you get...

Here is a rendering of what it would look like if I ran it on my system with a 60 degree V-bit. I used a program called V-Carve Pro and it does an excellent job, especially with this kind of item. The maximun depth of cut on this example is .1253" deep with the character height at .5" and .75"...

Thanks designsbymtm. It sounds like your happy with it. Very encouraging! Jackpine...I wasn't aware they were into the machining software. I'm going to check them out right now. Thanks for the tip!

I'm getting my new ShopBot PRT48 next week and have been looking at ArtCam Pro and Enroute 3 for use with the system. I'm looking at these primarily for the 3D capability. ArtCam looks good, but at $7500.00 +$1200.00 yearly for maintenance, I find it out of range. Enroute looks good and the...

If you're running Windows XP, try doing a system restore to a previous date when your ArtCut was known to be working. This is provided you have system restore enabled on your computer.

No problem with 12 here and am now using X3 without problems. I would look at your display settings and maybe even turn your video acceleration down some. If you're using screensavers, shut them off, they're nothing but resource hogs. Also, check your power saving features, I always set mine to...

:Welcome: from NC! David

Without a doubt, get the upgrade. You'll be glad you did. The new Corel Trace is 1000 fold better and works from within X3, not externally anymore. Corel has a definite winner here!:cool1: Dave
