How do I upgrade my version of sheetcam to get away from version V7.0.21 so I can use text import option
go to sheetcam.com, download page, and download Sheetcam TNG Development V7.1.35. Once it installs and you launch it, you should get a popup window advising on an update version to 7.1.40. Click that and it will auto download and install.
Its been a while since I installed sheetcam development version after sheetcam stable version, so I don’t recall it it inherits the settings from stable version, I’m guessing not. So be prepared to copy over your edited post files and toolsets from stable to dev. Find them by going to menu Help-‘Open settings folder’ in both versions. The folders open via Windows Explorer, so after opening them, leave both open and close both sheetcam apps. Then copy toolsets and edited post files. As for license, launch sheetcam dev version, go to Help-‘Install license file’, and navigate to the sheetcam stable version folder to select your license there, or select your license from its backup location where ever you stored it.
Re. importing svg files with Use Text option from inkScape- you noticed the text did not scale the same as other drawn shapes- right ? I’m not sure why that is the case with inkScape created svg files. I don’t have that problem with other CAD produced svg files. It seems like the best file type to use from inkScape is dxf type, don’t need the Use Text option for that case and everything scales correctly.
