One thing that I do during complex designs, as I move along through each stage of the process before venturing into techniques that I am not 100% confident with, is group everything at that point. Then, I copy and paste it. Once I do that, I move the copy to a new sheet, or just off the material to sit. Then I ungroup the original and continue working. In doing this, if I get in the weeds on the original and can’t figure out how to correct it, I have various stages of the project sitting off the material so that I do not have to start over again. This is also useful when you have specialized lines that you know you will use again within the same project. Once I am done with the design process, I just delete all the "spares" sitting off the material or within the other sheet.
tristonm37, That sounds like a fantastic workflow! Keeping backups of each stage definitely can save you a lot of headaches later on. It's also a smart way to explore different design options without losing your original work. You’re clearly organized and methodical in your approach, which is key in CNC woodworking. Thanks for sharing your technique!
Garrett: two questions. 1. Do you have an updated list of videos?? If so, where? 2. Have you ever done a video on HOW to program a touch probe "gadget" and get it into and use it in vectric?
daveferguson492, I don't have an updated list of videos available, but you can usually find my latest content on my channel page. As for programming a touch probe in Vectric, I haven't done a video specifically on that topic yet, but it's a great idea!
To draw a line tangent to two circles select the line command then 1. Click anywhere on one circle to place a point 2. Hover the cursor over the second circle 3. Press T You had a video on this about 4 years age ( Vectric Tangent Lines Between Circles Vcarve Desktop, Pro, Aspire for Beginners, CNC Laser Router )
MehdiShatti, It sounds like you're referring to a helpful technique for creating tangent lines in Vectric software! I'm glad you found the video useful. If you have any specific insights or experiences with it, feel free to share!
@@IDCWoodcraft I use Fusion 360 to model my projects and then export them to Aspire and create toolpaths. It is much easier to model in Fusion 360 and much easier to create toolpaths in Aspire. I have created many cnc projects and if you like I can email some of them to you. I am hoping to sell the files either for Fusion 360 or Aspire.
I hope you don't mind me saying this but the quality of your last two videos are not as good as the rest of your videos. It is fine when you share your screen.
That is most likely going to be a resource issue within the computers being used running the camera's in combination with the software and other foreground and background program. Lowering the resolution of the camera might help clear the image and increase the frames per second from the cameras. I know it isn't a bandwidth issue because, as you said, the screen share doesn't appear to be affected. Bandwitfth issues would affect the entire stream. Another work around would be to have the stream running from an independent computer, and use a capture card to feed in the vectric screen from the other computer. With this seemingly taking place at the business instead of his home, I have to assume they are on business workstations. While perfect for most business needs, they are usually not spec'd out to handle the resource heavy tasks that streaming/sharing/recording require at the same time on a single machine along with the other software already running that is unrelated. Its also possible that the actions taking place from his computer and camera are being fed to another machine through the internal network and the stream is taking place from the other computer which would be a worst case scenario for a quality stream.

Looks good sounds good let it rip taterchip
bubba6945, Thanks for the enthusiasm! It's fun to let the machine go and see the results.
Hi Juliann
robertanscombe1508, glad you liked this one brother!

Yes, the Internet here at my new house is pretty bad
