    Good morning everyone -
    I'm sure I am missing something very simple, but....
    In the "pocket toolpath" form, I no longer see "show advanced toolpath options". I need to set "Use larger are clearance tool"
    What am I missing?
    Thanks in advance!

    Attached are two screenshots. The first one shows the pocket toolpath form with the "use larger clearance tools" option available. (from a tutorial)The second shows a screenshot of my V-carve program.
    Thanks in advance

    They have obviously changed it, but its still there. Just click select to add more tools. Make sure you order them so your bigger tool is first.

    I think we were all a bit confused as to what software you were using. I even looked for this option in OpenBuilds CAM since this is an OpenBuilds forum. :)

    Using v-carve pro. And, I’m fully aware of what forum I’m in.

    It is just a friendly suggestion to include details of what applications you needed help with, it wasnt specifically specified in your original post, so the default assumption would not be Vectric :) - we deal with a wide range of applications, and specifics would matter in this context. Not naming it, i would not blame her for assuming OpenBuilds CAM as the default then

    By the way, please checkout Terms of Service and Rules | OpenBuilds - we are all here to help one another, no need to take offense when the people that put time in to help, suggests ways to improve your ability to reach the correct advisors

    I was also waiting on the screenshots because Show Advanced Toopath options sounds a lot like the tickbox in OpenBuildsCAM.


    Now lets move on, respect everyone and get on with making cool projects! Have a good week ahead all

    You are missing what version of Vcarve he is using (in the video). I bet it is an older one. In a version from a video dated a year ago, he was using version 9.5. I have had Vcarve Desktop for over a year and I started in the version 10's.
