I've had a PRT 96x48 Shopbot for about 10 years now and the Shopbot version of V-Carve pro has been great. We currently run v8.024 of the ShopBot version. Recently we acquired a tabletop Shark CNC. The Shark also comes with V-Carve (v7.5), but it is the standard one with the dozens of post Ps for the different manufacturers (including ShopBot). I have quite a few computers in our CAD labs with the Shopbot version so I would like to transfer the PPs of the Shark to those computers. I cannot seem to get the Shopbot V-Carve to recognize the Shark PPs. I copied the Shark PPs and placed them in the application folder of the ShopBot edition which I assumed would work. Anyone have any ideas of why this does not work?
Has ShopBot made their version so that it only works with their PPs? A little annoying as I will probably have to purchase new licenses so that I can get at least a couple of these computers to be able to create files for both machines.
Thanks,
