Stumbleweed I was having issues with CC Pro and I have another thread that I talked about this issue I was having. Here is the link to that thread Carbide Create Pro Crash . Here we discussed the crashing issue I was having with CC Pro. You can also see the program I was designing to carve.
Welcome to the community and congrats to buying your machine. I have the Shapeoko 5 Pro and I purchased the CC Pro program. There are some limitations to the program and I also was looking into other designing programs. There are some good free design programs but you have to choose for what best fits for you. Come check out what we discussed over at that link.
