I’ve been following along on this forum for almost 2 years, and been using my X-carve now for 1. How come there haven’t been any additional ‘apps’ added to Easel? I don’t have any one specific in mind but it just looks stale and unused. Just curious.
Hi Traxxtar,
We actually had 2 new apps released in the last week or so. A picture frame rabbet app, and a keyhole generator app. Both are in the “other” category.
How about a 3-axis probe app? Actually, I’ve already figured that out. I didn’t create an app, but made a script to do it. It’s in the forums.
What kind of new apps do people want to see?
A background/texture app would be nice… thought I read something awhile back about one…
Being able to manipulate or at least an easier way to curve text would be great
For some reason I have never got the app to actually curve text, usually jumbled, so I either resort to manually placing which takes forever or using another program and importing.
Interlock app
I did a video on this. It is fairly easy to do. However, I know vcarve lets you type the letters straight and there is a icon that allows you to curve the letters. Here is the link to my video
Here is a photo of curved letters in vcarve
What are you trying to accomplish?
Yeah that’s what I basiclly do. Maybe I’m just use to other programs and hoping for same functions with easel.
Pic from the phone, i apologize…
This is what I’m talking about. The app is straight forward… am I missing something? This is probably the best results I’ve had…
Go to the second example in my video. Create a circle or oval (however you want the letters to be), then place individual letters on that line you created. Once done delete the line. Take a look at the video. I show you step by step. Let me know how you did
@AngusMcleod Im familiar using other software, thank you though. Guess I was just wondering why the app worked that way. Would be nice to use for quick cuts. @PhillipLunsford I have watched a few of your videos , thank you and I plan on subscribing.
Hi Zach. I too don’t like using the curve text app. Most of the time it doesn’t come out right. Letters are either too close together of too far apart.
I would like an app that can layout slanted/sloped carves. For example…select an object, specify the direction of the slope and the angle and have the app calculate the steps required from a combination of width/height and depth of material and then produce a new object sloped. See image below as example.
This would then give us a sort of 3D effect. Sure it wouldn’t be totally smooth, but depending on the bit used could get pretty close.
This would be fantastic
Have you seen the honeycomb app?
You could also make a elements and then use the repeater.
I think an app could make it easier to “randomize” the pattern too.
@DanMarshall has a brick app too. I think he would be the best person to make a modification to one of his apps based on input from @MakeShip
