Fantastic, thanks for sharing, this is the type of information I was looking for. Did you know that xcarve runs GRBL firmware? This means you can import into files into a software known as chilipepper. It looks like you can import dxf and gcode files. Other software exists to convert solid works parts into gcode but dxf can work just fine. Hopefully this helps and you could share the result.
