I have two personal computers that I have Carbide Create Pro 7 (Build 778) installed on. On one PC (Laptop used for 90% of the work) and a second AIO desktop. Both machines running WIN10.
I created a simple project on the laptop including the text “ROCKWAY”. I had to create multiple groupings of the letters in individual text’s to allow me to align the spacing properly as I did not like the spacing between letters when I just typed the word. I grouped the vectors together at the end.
When I open the project on the AIO machine the grouped letters re-align on top of each other so “ROCKW” now has “AY” overlapping it with the “A” starting on top of the “W” Opening back on the laptop and the vectors are aligned properly. For a test I downloaded and installed the same build on my work laptop with the same overlapping results.
Does anyone have any idea why this would happen or how I can account for this, I would like to be able to use both PC’s and share designs between them.
Does this imply the letters moved back to a position they were once in? In that case it sounds like you forgot to save your file before transferring it to the other machine. How are you transferring the file? Open the correct file and the file that exists on the transfer media (USB stick, email, IM) on the computer that’s giving you issue.
Hey Will, thank you for the quick response. Apologies I left that step out of my description, when I created the original file I did convert the text to curves, so in the end I had two sets of vectors that I placed side by side to make the full word then I grouped the vectors. It seems the two vector groups are re-aligning on top of each other.
Same file opened on the Laptop computer. Exact same build of Carbide Create. I know this seems a silly thing to stress, but the AIO is the machine physically connected to the CNC to run the programs, and it would be nice to be able to make the design on the laptop and transfer to the AIO when running the carve
There is one copy if this file on a USB drive. That single file is being used on both machines. There are not multiple copies of the file being opened in multiple locations. Single version of the file…I am confused, I may be missing something I just don’t know what it is.
I also use two machines, but I Remote Desktop from my table to my desktop and do design work on one and motion on the other.
Just an alternative solution.
