  7. Re: Possible sheetCAM problem, no charp corners?

    yep - constant velocity - you either have to turn CV off - or decrease feedrate, and/or increase acceleration, and/or set CV distance to a tolerable radius (which will cause the machine to slow down...

    Re: bmp and png files dont show up for loading

    You have to start a new project then hit FILE / IMPORT / IMPORT-BITMAP

    Then it will list raster formats

    If you hit FILE / OPEN then it only lists vector formats
