I live in Oregon. 73 years and counting. It will be about 82 degrees here tomorrow. It will be a great day for my wife and I to go golfing. When you watch the tutorials, you’ll see that they start with a two-digit number and that is a good order in which to watch them. This is necessary because...

It's a real good idea to watch the video tutorials where it states that ALL profiles must be created from the top to the bottom. Each successive dot creates a 'Lathe Section' and if not done in that order, it will crash. With effort, I could likely keep it from crashing. It just wouldn't work...

Great job, John! I’m glad you’re having fun and I’m looking forward to see where you go from here. Lloyd

If the pane that draws the bowl is all messed up, you have a software video driver from Intel that needs to be updated. Click this link to upgrade your driver and then check back. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000090440/graphics.html

My international customers are going to be very happy. I’ve sold in over 40 countries but everyone that buys gets the software in English with video tutorials in English and very poor support for metrics. Now there will be a drop-down control with five different languages and as soon as...

I would never have software work differently whether an authorization code was entered or not. I would be really offended if someone did that to me. The key to your error is that Save As works but Save doesn’t. Somehow, a control character (not visible) ended up in that file and it could have...

I think this is a reasonable request. I’ll add it to the new version of SegPro I’m working on. I hope to have it done for SWAT in Waco, TX in late August It is a major effort, though, which has touched almost every line of code so there is a LOT of testing to be done before it can be released...

If your question is silly, it means that every segmenter is silly because this is one of the most common questions I get. The formula for angle for closed rings, as you well know is: 360 / segments / 2 360 / 16 / 2 = 11.25 For open segments, you have to first subtract the number of degrees...

No need to delete it, CFM, I'd be frustrated, too, if I made multiple unresponsive support requests. Just so you know, I think handling technical support over email or messaging is a collossal waste of time. I can solve any issue within minutes with a phone call and it can take an eternity to...

I have good news for you. For many years I have pushed back on letting you export files from SegPro to WTP. The two programs are completely different approaches to designing bowls and they have nothing in common. WTP is row oriented and SegPro doesn't care about saving rows because the bowl is...

Just an example of what you can do in Woodturner PRO and let’s do this as a challenge. Let’s say you want to make a mobius from five-sided rings. The outside diameter is to be 24 inches and you want to make it from 96 rings. For those that aren’t sure what a mobius is, if all of your rings had...

I answer EVERY email I receive and always within 24 hours. Outlook can’t tell you if your email was delivered to my inbox. If it was, you would have gotten a response right away. My phone number is on every page of the website and here it is: 503-781-5117. I promise you that you received your...

I can’t help you with drivers because I have no way of testing them without having their video hardware. Fortunately, all video companies have made it simple to upgrade their drivers but each company has their own way of doing it.

I wrote Segment PRO to allow the computer to do most of the work. With Woodturner PRO that allows you to do most anything, there is no way to provide automation because there are simply too many possibilities. To accomplish automation in Segment PRO, I had to limit the capabilities to those...

Perhaps you’ve answered you own question about about cropping for tracing an image but here is what I do… Move the left edge to the horizontal center of the bowl image. The right edge just needs to be wider than the bowl image. Teh bottom edge does NOT go at the bottom of the bowl. You need to...

I use the same truncated cone formula and method in both programs. A truncated cone can have the point up or down depending on the wall profile at any elevation. All I’m interested in is the inner diameter. I make a truncated cone for every ring. I start at row 2 because row 1 is a disk. I take...

Great job, Jim! It looks to me like you’re having fun. Thanks for posting!

There are two kinds of staves - those that are like the stave you make to make a stave barrel which is a stave which is made by ripping wood. The other is compound segments which are also staves by are made by cross-cutting boards instead of ripping them. You can make the identical stave using...

I downloaded your json file and passed it to ChatGPT to tell my why SegPro is abending (abnormal end). There is a mis-match between the BowlType (painted segments, feature ring). The bowl type says it is a painted segment bowl but there are no painted segments in the file which means it is a...

You first have to add them as Species. Find the image file you want to use as a species (smaller is better), name it with the name you want the species to be (Walnut.jpg, for example) and put it in My Segment PRO/Species (if you’re using Segment PRO). To add it to a Palette, click the Palette...
