How do I install and activate the Gadget?

Install the .vgadget file through VCarve’s Gadgets menu. Open JD Cabinet Studio and select your signed .jdl license file when prompted.

Do I need a new activation file every month?

Version 2.4.1 and later refresh the activation when you open the software online near or after expiry, once PayPal confirms your payment. Keep your purchase receipt for manual recovery.

What can I do in the browser demo?

Can I use it with my existing cabinet software?

You can enter sizes from your existing drawings or review layers from a DXF opened in VCarve. The Gadget’s DXF review lists the contours on the active sheet and side. Set up machining for those imported vectors in VCarve.

Can I use the Gadget by itself?

Yes. Enter cabinet boxes, doors, and drawers directly in the Gadget. The Complete package adds Studio for room planning and whole-job handoff.
