    I'm trying to create projects and so far everything looks great until I go to switch from milling to laser. I've got my drawings all done and want to burn in the outlines on the v-carved letters and add a lasered picture in the center. (Memorial plaque for a dog)
    My problem is when I go to choose the laser the only one listed in tools is a generic one VCarve Pro has in its library. I've added the GRBL Post-Processor and the software knows it's there, it's just not coming up under tools. Am I missing a step somewhere that adds the laser into the tool library? The defaulted one has no settings such as Kerf, # of passes, Power, Feed Units, Move Speed, and Max Burn Rate - none of which I'm sure of the actual values for VCarve.

    Anyone running this setup and can help teach me where I screwed up?

    Thank you!
