What the heck? Each time I start a new project in VCarve Pro ver 9, it is set to an offset. This has become a nuisance to say the least. I don't know how to get the box unchecked. It appears to be a default setting. Or did someone else use my software before I upgraded?   I did not have this problem with Cut2D or the trial version of VCarve Pro 8.5.

 

Help!!!

When I start a new file it has my previous setting that I used on the last file I saved with it.  Just did a test, and after deselecting the offsets and setting the center as my board to be the 0,0 origin, I drew a quick square then used Save-As to give it a name.  I then closed that file.   Started a new one and now my offsets were not checked, and zero was in the same place as that file I just saved.  I completely closed Aspire, ran it again, and when I started a new file the settings were the same, but not what I had started with initially the last time I started up Aspire.

 

So default behaviour is to remember the settings used with the last file you saved.  I actually appreciate that because I usually want to start with the same settings. If there is nothing you can do to change how they are set when starting a new file then something else is amiss. Are you perhaps running Aspire from a networked install?   I know our network manager where I work installs all programs so that no matter what a user does with them then always start up the same.

But...but...but I have never used an offset. That is the way it was after upgrading to ver 9 from 8.5. Bummer. I will try your suggestion later this evening and report back.

 

Thanks

You might also check to see if there is an update.   I found a 9.008 update available today which was to fix a few errors that users have found.   

Thanks 4D. Your suggestion worked. However, I can't figure out why it hasn't worked on previous files I have created in ver 9. About 5-6 of them now, and each time I would create a new file, that danged box was checked with 5,5 offset. Whatever, it is gone now.

Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it.

Mike my VCarve pro did the same thing but I don't use VCarve too much so I guess it did not dawn on me until reading your post.  I have updadted to V9.008 and it opens without the offset now.

 

When ever their is a new release there are always things that get overlooked so there are a few bugs to work out.  I always report any problems I find to Vectric Support so they can work on them and hopefully get them fixed and post updates.  If you report a problem you find to them they need to know what build for the software you are using.  What I do is take a screen shot of the About screen window because it gives them all the information they need about the software you are using and it is easier than typing all the information.  So far on v9.0XX I have reported 5 bugs I have found so they are working on those.  When you send the email you will get an auto response that it was received.  Then after they verify that there is a glitch they contact you and verify that you did find one and they will fix it and release the fix along with others in updates when they can.

 

I have both Aspire and VCarve Pro and the problems I have found have been common to both.

 

The more reports they get the faster we get a good working software.
