> Yeah, not happy w BobCAD, but we’ll see. I just talked to em again on the phone and the tech guy said to try their generic BC3X mill setting. I’ll give it a shot when I get home. I think I already tried that, but not sure if I tried that w the g-code post processor setting. Yeah, the x-carve is massively awesome in terms of what I can do and have done w it already. Yesterday I got a copy of a book pub’d in 1918 of 2265 stencils. W the xcarve and easel I can scan any of those 2265 patterns…

Thanks for getting back to me  
I just bought the latest version 29 to replace my ver 24 and the tech guy I talked to said that they should be able to  
make a post-he hadn’t heard about x-carve  
I run bobcad on a fadal cnc mill, but that is at work  
I want to do some smaller stuff with the x-carve  
wish you luck with all those stencils

if it can output generic gcode then it should be easy to edit it to make it work. That is what i have to do with artcam
