Without more specific information, it is difficult to determine the exact issue. However, it is recommended to check the software settings, ensure proper machine connectivity, and consult the SmartCarve user manual or support for specific troubleshooting steps.

I recommend downloading the user guide where everything about the software is explained. I couldn't find a website with exact instructions on how to properly set up the software, but the user guide should provide all the necessary information related to the way the software can be configured based on your needs and for your machines.
I'm having trouble with Smartcarve. Can't find softdog. Is it because I didn't connect to a laser cut machine or I have 2 install some kind of driver? I wanna do the work on my laptop without connecting the machine. Is it possible?

The "softdog" is a USB dongle which contains the drivers. Also, the machine is required to be connected to the PC so the SmartCarve will work normally. Unfortunately, this is all the information I could find. To download the drivers, use the Google Search results list. There are pages hosting the driver for your laser machine.
I clicked on standard view by mistake and now, I no longer have access to the layer list. How do I recover the layer list? Thank you.

I've downloaded SmartCarve, but it's impossible to test it since it requires the HASP device. It's not enough to simply install the program because upon starting it, a message will say that the HASP device and driver are missing. I recommend you check the main menu and options found in that menu, especially in the Window section from where you can remove various layers. Additionally, access the installation folder and look for INI files. Backup them and then restart the application and it should appear the same.
I just bought a laser and it came with SmartCarve. Can you tell me why SmartCarve 4.3 would not be able to be run by a simple VBScript file? Controlling the software via the keyboard is possible, but none of the accelerator keys can be controlled by a simple script file. I'm just trying to import a file over and over again without having to use a mouse or keyboard all the time. I notice that the version of 4.3 that I have is labeled BETA in the Help\About window. Any suggestions?

You can't use a VBscript file with SmartCarve because it doesn't support one. I have searched the web for this combination/possibility but it's not possible. However, you can program the software with AutoIT. AutoIT is an application that allows you to create scripts to automate tasks on your desktop. You can control and perform any action you like.
Yes, the application is compatible with the Windows 7 operating system. To obtain the software as well as getting additional information, visit the website which contains all this information. In Windows 7, right click and select Run as Administrator when you're about to install it.
SmartCarve is a good application to start with, but for a recommended one you will need to check the results from Google. There are too many applications with all kind of system requirements and not all might work with your CNC Router although this term is vastly mentioned.
I have a CamFive laser with a dongle and am using Smartcarve software. The dongle only works on 2.0 usb. My laptop only has 3.0 usb. I have tried hubs but since if does not connect direct to computer it still does not work. Any updates form Smartcarve dongle using a 3.0 usb??
