    Vcarve Pro with Tormach 1100

    Ok testign Vcarve Pro eval version with out new Tormach.

    Plan to buy Vcarve but want to make sure it will work and do what we need...

    I have used both of the Vcarve demo flies BullsHead and the restroom sign and can make a nice engraving in VCarve simulation
    When I save the tool paths and bring it to the Tormach (Mach3) I only see and get a small partial of the overall item

    What you see is what is cut bun not the rest of the code...

    I've tried both ARC and ATC ARC in inches

    I'm not sure if this is a settings issue in Tormach or VCarve...

    Was trying to do a stupid easy 4" x 8" sign test...

    New to both the mill and VCarve
    I do see a light grey area in the Mach3 Tormach looks like active cut area and larger workpiece dashed line

    Any ideas or suggestions?

    Sounds like your version of Mach3 is in demo mode. Without the license, it will only display 500 (maybe 1000 on that version) lines of code.

    Mach 3 license should have shipped with a new machine, but you need to install it per my recollection.

    That was it!

    Amazing new mill and no clue that Mach3 installed by Tormach was in demo - added the license on the CD and worked great!
