Gray Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Come see Vistool at my place anytime mate(i still dont know half of what it does)and it still makes me look good That's not the spirit of the club man, defeatist attitude, have you tried the depth profile, or the optimize sequence, or the measure circle 3 points. You need to get yourself aquainted before the clown pays a visit. we need to look good here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted August 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 Come see Vistool at my place anytime mate(i still dont know half of what it does)and it still makes me look good And that's what we're all about here at the owners club - helping other users get the most from the best software on the market. have you tried the depth profile, or the optimize sequence, So, talk us through the optimize sequence thingy then...

Gray Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 OK say you have a complicated logo. Select optimize sequence and it stops the diamond flying about willy nilly like one side then to the other, it optimizes the sequence of cuts to the shortest time and the quickest route.Truly a Vistool gem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gray Posted August 19, 2010 Report Share Posted August 19, 2010 If you have a logo select show sequence and you will see the numbers they will be all over the place. Optimize sequence reroutes everything for the fastest time. Comprende Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CotswoldEngraver Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 I just want to say what nice people those u-marq guys are. My CX4 recently developed a fault and without hesitation Mark came and took it away and left me his demo machine. After repair he brought it back, (hows the back Mark after lugging it the stairs!) set it back up and then spent the next hour advising me on some production issues I had! Nothing seems too much troble for them!! Well done guys =D> =D> =D> =D> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 If you have a logo select show sequence and you will see the numbers they will be all over the place. Optimize sequence reroutes everything for the fastest time. Comprende After this tip off last week, I investigated & found how this works. Brilliant one from rlj. So today, when I had an engraving job with quite a complex logo & lots of text....I forgot to optimise the sequence until it was half way through engraving I blame it on the sleep deprivation!

Forest Cobbler Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 We have a Universal 300 running vistool 8, please can we join your club too? And having read 'Logo zapping the Andy way' about how he does it on a Gravograph, does anyone have a similar tutorial for the Universal? Thanks, Valerie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Posted August 29, 2010 Report Share Posted August 29, 2010 I PM'd this to key cabin but i'll put it on here in case it helps anyone else I'll see if I can guide you through the batch of plates thing. first of all set up your flat bed and make sure its centralised. next go to auto layout,in machining mode select flat bed. then enter the dimensions of your plate. enter your text assuming all plates are to be engraved the same.click ok. then go to standard engraving or alt+2 that will bring up a box headed standard production. now lets say for example you want to engrave nine plates enter 3 in in the X box and 3 in the Y box. go to preview and you will see all the plates. then just hit ok.
