I’m trying to setup VCarve at home with my makerspace account. I had this setup previously with 12.0, however when starting it up today I was prompted to go install the latest version.
Now that the install is done, I’m on version 12.504 and I get this error about Job Size Exceeds Standard Limits. It seems in this version I can only create something 25”x25” or less or it will start “tiling”.
Did I miss something in my setup? I’m logged in to my account that was registered to the makerspace edition. (at least I think I did).
I downloaded the machine configuration for the Laguna Swift, although it only has an option for the 4x4 model.
It looks like the Laguna Swift 4x4 is limiting you. And I assume if we can find the Laguna Swift 5x10 config it would work as before. But that’s just a guess.
So, historically, the job size limit has been something VCarve enforces on Desktop / non-Pro editions of VCarve. I have a personal license for the Desktop edition of an older version (9.5, so I admit it’s quite out of date now) and it displays that dialog.
Just noting that as an FYI in case it helps with troubleshooting. I haven’t entirely caught up with how Vectric handles the Makerspace licensing workflows in more recent versions.
FWIW, “tiling” is essentially what it sounds like: VCarve is capable of splitting large toolpaths into smaller physical tiles that are cut in separate sessions. Sounds like a monumental hassle that I’ve never wanted to experience in person.
