Enhancements
Save complex vector designs up to 70 times faster: Are you an engraver or someone who has to work with models with hundreds of thousands of vectors? You will be happy to hear that we have made it up to 12 times faster to open these models in your Carveco Software. What’s more, it is up to 70 times faster to save the amendments that you make. (All Variants)
Import SVG files up to 100 times larger: We have extended the SVG file size that can be imported into your Carveco software so that you can work on even more intricate vector artwork. (All Variants)
Recover more of your unsaved changes: Carveco Maker and Carveco Maker Plus will automatically back-up your unsaved changes every 15 minutes (instead of 30 minutes) after 10 seconds of inactivity (instead of 30 seconds) in case your computer crashes or your software closes unexpectedly. However, if you previously selected your own ‘Auto-Recover Settings’, these will remain unchanged. (Carveco Maker & Carveco Maker Plus).
Easier Carveco software activation (All Variants):
-
- Faster process for customers with greater security protocols: If you or your company have proxy servers or firewalls set up, we have made it even easier for you by reducing the number of domains you need to whitelist. For details visit: https://carv.eco/cannot-activate
- Improved error messaging: We’ve made it even easier to identify and resolve any networking and proxy server issues you may encounter.
- Visual aids to show progress: We have introduced a spinning wheel to show that the software is loading the Carveco Account login. This is particularly useful if you have a slow computer / internet connection.
Improved deactivation support: Deactivating your software is needed for a number of processes such as when you want use a new PC or apply a different software licence. However, this caused confusion for some customers. To help, we have included additional information and links to help articles within the deactivation dialog. (All Variants)
Fixes
Relief Clipart Library: Previously, if you imported a piece of relief clipart that contained a # symbol, it would prevent you from seeing the thumbnail (a preview image) in the ‘Relief Clipart Library’. This has now been fixed. (All Variants)
Fluting Toolpaths: We now ignore the ‘Extend above Start Depth’ option when you use a Z control vector that begins with a perfectly horizontal section. Previously this would have produced broken and infinitely long toolpaths. (All Variants)
Auto-recovery: Clicking ‘Reset’ on the Options menu now resets the ‘Auto-Recover Settings’. (All Variants)
