I am new to CNC machining and have bought the Iconic 24x24 machine. I created a simple toolpath using Vectric software. I loaded this ".CRV" file onto a flash drive and tried to run on my iconic. After setting up the machine, I tried to run the file using the following steps.
Hit Mode button.
Scroll to Operate File
Hit OK
Select UDisk File
Scroll to my .CRV file
At this time, If I hit OK, it takes me back to the prior menu where I selected the UDisc file
If I hit the Run button, I get a new screen that says "Selected Filename" with a row of blank spaces.
What am I doing wrong?
Many thanks in advance for help.

Hi and welcome. You need to save the .mmg file to your flashdrive, not the .crv file. The .crv file is the CAD side of your Vectric product while the .mmg file is the CAM side. Besides being excellent software, the tutorials that Vectric provides are exceptional. I highly recommend watching their videos from the beginning. This one in particular relates to your question.

The issue might be related to file format compatibility or the file loading procedure. Make sure the file format (.CRV) is compatible and that you're following the correct steps to load the file onto your machine. Check for any software updates and consider reaching out to technical support if the problem persists. Additionally, considering the Monport laser as an alternative could be beneficial, given its reputation for ease of use, high quality, and affordability.
