    Using Offsets Within Job Setup in Vectric Software

    September 29, 2024 /

    In this video, I’ll demonstrate the use of the Use Offsets option within the Job Setup form in Vectric software. I’ll show you a project that required that I offset the X and Y zero 3 inches each. I’ll show you how I offset the material within the Job Setup form, then show you what that looks like within the software. I’ll then show you how that worked on my CNC router when I ran the G-code. Finally, I’ll wrap up the video with a brief discussion of other applications for using these offsets.  Thanks for watching! On Sunday, September 29th, I’ll be hosting a LIVE Q&A session, where you…
