    BIG PROBLEM

    I can say that the new version is a big step forward. The most impressive addition is the ability to design something in SP and then export it to WTP. Where one can tweak individual rings to ones content. The new version handle high density vessels much faster than the current version of...

    loosing design when switching between PAINT and BOWL views

    this issue may be one for Lloyd to address. The good news is a major update of Segment Pro is coming soon. It has enhancements to how the database works between different views. The on and off again issue may be a hardware issue more than a software issue. I have not experienced what you...

    Gluing mat

    Not a bad find for a non stick mat. Good replacement for wax paper. I tend to use either wax paper on a flat surface, or my granite sealed slab. It is flat and glue cleans up very easy from the granite.

    BIG PROBLEM

    In Segment Pro. - Paint is used for the Painted Segment Bowl - Storyboard is used for Featured Ring Bowls. Some "rules" SP follows: - You cannot paint segments in a featured ring bowl - You cannot add a featured ring to a painted segment bowl (if you want to do the above, use WoodTurner Pro)...

    BIG PROBLEM

    when you select the Ring view in SP it creates a pdf file containing each of the rings. The file is placed in the MySegmentPro/Ringview folder. It will open the pdf file in a reader in which you can select to print the ring view. If you have not painted any segments the ringview will not be...

    Paint issue

    This may be a problem you need to talk to Lloyd about. - Have you tried do a reinstall / repair of SP? - When you start to paint your vessel do you make any chances to the bowl settings like changing row thickness? - might be helpful to link your json file so we can look at it. Lloyd would need...

    printing a picture of a vase in SP

    One method is to do a Print Screen in windows. Print screen, then select full screen or using the rectangle to define an area. paste the screen shot into a program like Word or a Graphic program and print the image from that program. When you do a print screen, Windows will save the image in...

    Segmented ring inside a ring

    I take it your platter you want to build is like a flat board. Ring 1 fits inside ring 2, ring 2 fits inside ring 3. etc. Is this correct? The number of segments that make up a segmented ring has nothing to do with the width of the ring. The best I can think of is in WTP you can build a...

    Seg Pro Freezing

    Did you shutdown and reboot your PC before trying to download and repair? Have not had the printing issue but some other minor things were cleared up with a complete shut down and restart of the PC then starting SP again.

    Titebond

    I have used it but not for segmented bowls. While it dries clearer than original Titebond I found the set time too quick for my liking. It made it more difficult for me to align the segments when gluing them together.

    Dark Glue Lines

    Not sure what caused your glue line with since you say the ring was sanded flat.. - The ring was not flat in that area. Check to make sure the ring is flat before gluing Looking at the image you posted there is are other glue lines that can be seen. Zooming in it is not clear if it is just...

    Dark Glue Lines

    imo, there is a chance that gluing a warped ring to a non warped ring will warp both rings. I have glued a slightly warped 1/8 inch ring to a 3/4 inch ring and the result was a flat combined ring. it can if you tighten the clamp to much. I have used Titebond Original and Titebond translucent...

    Dark Glue Lines

    Glue. Titebond translucent dries clear. Titebond original I have used with good results. though glue lines can darken over time. Some in my club use Elmers white all purpose glue. it dries clear. If you are seeing a noticeable glue line between your rings. - rings may not be perfectly flat (I...

    Marking top of board

    The Segment Edge Length (SEL) is from either WTP, SP summary cut list for the ring or from doing the math yourself. You need to know the Outside diameter of the ring. You need to design your bowl first in WTP or SP From the cutlist/summary you can get the measurements you need to use in LP...

    Marking top of board

    A single fence system is what you would use to cut your laminate. - Not enough information Apollo. - In Lamination Pro you are going to glue up the laminate. - What you are not telling us is the ring SEL and the segment thickness (how tall). - you also are not providing the information on what...

    Marking top of board

    Like Ken it I use the two fence system and it has been years since I did the single fence system. Using a 1 fence system you would flip the board after each cut. I provided a link to Segeasy video. The first part of the video does the one fence system. the segments are put together the way...
