Trying to engrave txt, when I get to the tool selection in tool path create, i can only see end mills. I can see the v-cutters if I right click on milling tools/tool crib. How can I get so I can see them when creating tool path?

Fabricator, what version are you running? Also what toolpath feature are you using?

Running V25 3axis. Using 2d Engrave. I have figured out I can use 3d V-Carve to do text, and I can use the V cutters, but if I try to use V-Carve to do a logo it dont pick up all lines, where engrave does. Also running it on Windows 10, dont know if that makes a difference.
In the Engrave - Mill 2 Axis Wizard, in the Rough dialogue window there's a button for Tool Crib, when the tool crib opens there are 3 categories on the left - Endmill Rough, Endmill Finish and V-Tool.
Select V-Tool, click Add From Tool Library, then click Add and Create the tool.
Use the tool you have created.
If you didn't buy the Video Professor DVDs I strongly suggest you obtain a set and work through the examples, your description of the problem suggests you may not know your way around the software's basics very well?
Also watch as many of Al's videos as you can as you will learn a lot.
Just so this question does not go unanswered. Engrave in V25 does support V-Tool, but only after build 895. If you are note seeing the V-Tool as an option, you just need to updated your build to 895 or newer.
