Vectric — Supercharge your CNC

New Job Dialog

The Create Job dialog sets up a new piece of material to work on — its size, units and appearance. These dimensions define the working area your design and toolpaths are built within.

Setting Up a Job

Enter the Width (X), Length (Y) and Thickness (Z) of your material, choose whether to work in inches or millimetres, pick a modeling resolution, and choose an appearance. Click Create to make the job.


Options

Width (X) / Length (Y) / Thickness (Z)

The dimensions of the material block.

Units

Whether the sizes are measured in in or mm.

Modeling Resolution

The resolution used when calculating the 3D model. Higher resolutions give finer detail at the cost of memory and speed.

Appearance

A solid colour or a material texture used to render the model surface.


Tip

Blank, zero or negative sizes are rejected — the offending field is highlighted and the job is not created until it is valid.
