• Are you looking for a coupon code to buy my software? You can get one from lots of 3rd party sites but they won't work. My software never goes on sale and has never been discounted. The only coupon codes that are given is when I give a club presentation and I offer a discount to the attendees. Other than that, everyone pays the same price.

    Editing Profile Points

    3D Design Pro lets you delete points but Segment PRO does not. If you click the Clear button above the profile in Segment PRO, it will delete the profile but will keep all of the adornments you have made. As soon as you draw a new profile, the bowl will be just as it was before. If you click...

    Wood species does not show up in summary

    Another thing that would confuse the software (it shouldn’t, of course) is that the bottom dot of your profile is at 0. As stated earlier, that dot needs to be at the radius you want the bottom disk to be so the software would be confused. I never tested for this because, well, I never thought...

    Wood species does not show up in summary

    I still have the same question - if you reset the segments and repaint, is the Summary correct? My guess is that it will be. Something happened to confuse the software and repainting it will fix it. The only thing that I know causes this is changing the number of segments. I’ve already fixed...

    Wood species does not show up in summary

    Your bottom dot should be close to the bottom line at the diameter that you want the bottom disk to be. I don't see how this could cause the species count problem, but it is a problem, nonetheless.

    Wood species does not show up in summary

    I think this has to do with changing the number of segments at some point. If you reset the segments to default and then repaint, the Summary will be correct again. Lloyd

    Thanks, Tom - I will do that.

    The other thing to consider is using Woodturner PRO. Yes, it is slower and both programs use the exact same formulas. There is a difference, though - in Segment PRO, you don’t specify diameters. The software looks at the elevation of the top or bottom of each ring, whichever is larger and then...

    I like your device and would like to build one like it myself. I’ll cite you as the inspiration, of course. I don’t see any difference between your device and a SegEasy plate. As long as the angle is 5.5 degrees, the SEL will make the segment stop at the diameter calculated by Segment PROand...

    It’s not a precision instrument but it doesn’t need to be, You need to position yourself above the centered rings and then after applying the glue, you need to rotate the top disk so that four joints in four opposite sides are in alignment. When they are, apply the weight and walk away. The...

    Let me start by saying that I do not use indexing wheels with open segments so I do not profess any expertise with this technique. However, If you are using an index wheel with 24 divisions, that would assume that you are using closed segments and the angle for cutting those segments is 7.5...

    That’s true, Mike, but I think Tom was asking a different question.. If I answered the wrong question, it won’t be the first time. ;->

    The thing to remember is that you are not cutting a ring. You are cutting segments. Whenever I am ready to make a bowl designed in either Segment PRO or Woodturner PRO, I always export it to a spreadsheet where I can start deleting columns. I always start by deleting the inside and outside...

    New To Woodturner Pro

    The wall width you specify in Segment PRO or the or the area that is the green hash area isn’t the finished wall width. It is the width you want to have before you start turning. You can turn it down to any width you like, but the important thing is to have enough wood to avoid the biggest error...

    New To Woodturner Pro

    To understand how the volume is calculated, click on the toolbar button that has a green hash on it. This will indicate the area in which the wall will be turned. This hash mark looks at adjacent rows and identifies the part where the two rows overlap. The green hash identifies the trapezoid...

    New Categories in SegmentPro?

    BTW, you can create all the new categegories you like, but don’t delete categories that were part of the install. When you start the software, it does an integrity check to make sure that all files are present and it won’t be happy if categories are missing. I have to give delete buttons so that...

    Detail View in SegmentPro

    Microsoft has created their own problem, I’m afraid. If you use their Visual Studio Development System to create apps, you have to create a field of a specific size and then specify the font and font size that looks appropriate at a scale of 100%. If the scale is increased, the font size...

    Laminate Wizard Defaults

    It’s a pretty easy explanation - it isn’t working and I’m not sure it ever did. I intended to remove the defaults functionality because it really doesn’t add anything of value. Whatever the default is, it is just as likely to be not what you want for the current design you want to make. I had...

    03 - Painted Segment Bowls in Segment PRO

    The grid is not a printable control. Just do a print screen, paste it into Paint (already in your computer and print away. Should take about 10 seconds. If you want, you can crop it in Paint before printing.
