Bill-Walnut carves beautifully-The biggest problem with carving a piece that big could be warpage after you carve depending on how much area is carved and how deep you carve. If your plaque is to be securely fastend to something stiff at all four corners you may win but if this is to hang with normal picture hanging methods you may have problems. Large deep reliefs carved in faces of wood tend to relieve the stress of the wood in one direction and then the board cups.

Just a shot in the dark here, but have any of you tried increasing the page file (SWAP FILE) size in windows? that just might help a little. Rule of thumb is that the swap file should be 1.5 times larger then the amount of ram installed in the pc.

Many of you I am sure are familiar with my endless complaining, so I thought I would give Delcam an idea for something I would find truly useful in a future upgrade:

I would love the ability to nest layers, in the bitmap, vector, and relief layers. I would also like to have the ability to change the resolution of those layers individually, I think this could be a solution for the memory HOG that is 08. Although I model at 50 in jewelsmith, I don't need that resolution for every layer, only for the detail. Perhaps it would save some of the machine overhead if we could use lower resolutions on areas that don't need it.

next I would like the ability to save these nested layers so that I could load it and all its sublayers via a function similar to the load/paste function.

Next give us some control over the machine overhead, if it would increase my performance by turning off the preview/thumbnails of the layers I would do it in a second, these things are worthless anyway. I don't know if there are other superfluous options that are using resources that I don't need to be running, but if there are, let me choose what to use.

Lastly I know many have asked for an autosave, and it sounds like Delcam is not willing to do this, so could we at least have an option that when we choose to "update the 3dp" that it goes ahead and saves the dang file too? I honestly don't know why someone would choose to update the 3dp and not want it saved? but evidently someone thought that this is how the majority of users would like things. Just give us the option that every time it prompts us to update to save too.

I really hope that 09 will be more than a hotfix for 08 as I fear it is going to be, I would really like an upgrade to include some new functionality

这要看你当时的情况
分层了的话就直接删除这个

没有分层的话
如果这个部分假设是产生60度的浮雕
那么你就负60再产生一次就刚好相减了
假设而已

Hi Pankaj,

To model this you can use the 2 Rail Sweep for each section as shown in the attached image. Please take a look over it.

Also the similar shape can be achieved by using 2D Machining by using the V-Bit carving with Ball Nose, but in this case the user will need to create close vectors of each section. Then V Bit will identify the center line and the Depth will be proportional to width, due to which the similar shape can be achieved.

The other option would be create a single open vector in the center of each section and then Create a Toolpath Along Vector using Ball Nose, Create the relief as shown and then project this 2D Toolpath onto created relief using Transform Toolpath - Project On Relief function which is available in ArtCAM 2008 onwards. Hope this information helps.

Thanks,
Shirish

Hello Michael, I have that book... it is the JewelSmith book that I want. I guess they will get one eventually. Thanks Michael.

Bill, with that computer setup I agree. The card or memory certainly shouldn't be the problem. As well, I am most likely not working the software to the degree that you are. I soon will be but just haven't gotten there yet. I enjoy the software now though since the card helped in my case.

I've been around computers a long time...and done programming as well. I think your previous postings hit the problem dead center. I'll scratch my head a little though and see if I can think of anything at all for you to try. If anything drops out of that total dark, empty area I have between my ears, I'll drop you a note. THANKS... DKD

Stay away from mahogany, it's fuzzy, Birch or poplar can always be stained any way (or painted) as you like. If they want to see grain I would try white oak or maple. And for the extra time picking out the wood you should get extra money. Whoever does it may need to charge for a glue-up too because you don't usually get hard woods 30 inches wide.

then again there are a few companies that sell sign blanks if they want a standard shape.

When you have half an hour, go over to your local hard wood distributer. Just look at the variety and smell the wood.

You could ALSO V carve the sign through a veneer thats a different wood then the base.

what I was wanting to do is to load in a setting. I have a model that I have made, I wanted to create a new seperate part in the same 3dp for another part. I thought I should be able to find a setting just like any other releif, is this a problem? I usually build all of my parts from one orignall file which I resave and rename. this way I have all of my orignal vectors so that I can build parts to fit together. I have never needed a setting but thought that I could do this. Seems that you should. Thanks, D

Thanks for all of the responses. I did receive the email.

Until I sit down next week with the group right now the dimensions would be approximately 30x30" and it would have to be 1-1.25 inches thick because I want some raised areas. If someone would recommend another type of wood that might be better, please advise! The only plaques I do usually are flat and standard sizes.

I am confused at what you are trying to do now. Instead of using an old project, open a new ring project and call it test. You should see in the new components section an icon for settings.

By the way I forgot you were using 9, there is a manual for Pro and Jewelsmith for version 9
