Other Enhancements in V6

User Interface Improvements

• New form layout to more easily identify common areas on toolpath forms etc.
• User editable files (such as postprocessors & shading materials) moved out of program files.
• 2D and 3D views resize with main window size.
• Explicit command for importing PhotoVCarve and Cut3D toolpaths.
• Holding ctrl down with calculate will keep form open
• 'Intelligent' join-close commands to simplify interface
  • In earlier versions, closing a single vector required a separate set of commands compared to joining multiple vectors. VCarve Pro 6 intelligently applies the appropriate operation, according to the selection, using a single command. If the current selection is just a single, open vector then VCarve Pro will apply the 'close' version of the selected command. If the selection comprises several open vectors, VCarve Pro will apply the 'join' version of the selected command.

Toolpath Improvements

• An optional border can now be specified on Texturing toolpath form.
• Toolpath sequencing improvements
• Machining order for text blocks has been much improved
• Manual selection of machining order option for profiling, pocketing, drilling, carving

• VCarve Pro 6 has had its DWG & DXF file formats updated to improve compatibility with newer versions of 3rd party software, such as AutoCAD 2010.
• 'shortest path' algorithm option added for machining order
