I am using VCarve Pro to set up my project and WinPC-NC Starter via a USB cable to a 420 machine.
All goes well, I save the toolpath choosing WinPC-NC as the post processor and take the file out to the workshop.
I fire up WinPC-NC and go to open, I see the file with the extension *.nc, click and get the error message "Data cannot be displayed".
What have I missed?

Turbocad, VCarve, UCCNC, 420, HF350.

WinPC starter is not a Gcode controller - its can accept shapes in PLT format from Corel Draw.

you need

mach3
UCCNC
WinPC USB to run the output from Vcarve.
