Hello, Dano here! I'm new to the whole CNC world. Just bought my first one (X-Carve) as a retirement gift to myself. I've been using X-Carve and Easel for about a month now. I just now converted to Carveco Maker. I love the app but can't seem to figure out all of the in's and out's of getting my design to my controller. There is so much for me to learn.
Happy to be here and look forward to learning from the experts.

Welcome Dano, good to have you here.
Hi Dano,
Welcome to the Carveco Community!
When saving your toolpaths from Carveco Maker, please try selecting the Xcarve G-Code (mm) (*.txt) or Xcarve G-Code (inch) (*.txt) option (depending on whether your associated Carveco model is in metric or imperial units) from the Save Toolpaths dialog's Machine file format list and then try loading the resulting *.txt file. If the files load successfully, please try running the toolpaths under safe conditions (dry run) and confirm your results.
If you haven't done so already, we recommend that you complete the Carveco Fundamentals training course available on our company website: https://carveco.com/support/training/
You would also benefit from joining the following Facebook group, as several other Carveco Maker users are already active there: https://www.facebook.com/groups/595634551185458/
If you have any further questions or requests, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thanks again for your time and consideration.
