Job Setup Sheet

To expand a little on this topic:

Speeding up the process

I was thinking if we hire another person to help run the machines the learning curve can be quite large, here is why. Custom Bits, we use quite a few bits that fall under ‘Other’ it would be nice to be able to add your own bit sizes Custom Materials, again a number of our materials we cut do not have an option in the materials list being able to add custom materials would be nice as well Ability to preset a material instead of it picking baltic birch every time. About 80% of our carves …

It would be awesome if Easel could generate a job setup sheet, which could help with the learning curve as well.

The sheet would contain all relevant information for the job:

• Easel Project name
• Workpiece Name/Number in Project
• Bit size/name/description
• Material Dimensions
• Material Type
• Cut settings
• Snapshot of a detailed preview or snapshot of the design itself

Single page PDF that can be printed and then laminated. For production work, your machine operator finds the sheet(s) for the job, and then goes off and runs it.

That’s how our machine shop operates at work.

I’ll get flamed for this but this a prime candidate for a Pro feature that could really differentiate between versions and this feature would be more geared towards businesses. Even Vectric considered this to be a “premium” feature and didn’t include it in Vcarve Desktop.

I agree that it would be helpful, but I am doing the same thing with printing out the model i originally made and having a chart in the top corner giving details of the carve/project. Laminate it and put it in a binder. Seems to be working ok for me so far

Kind of like the job sheet V-Carve Pro generates. I emailed Vectric and asked to have the font used in the carve to be included in the job sheet. Many times I had to reload a past project to see what font was used to carve.
