Hi Paul,

The best explanation of this process or work flow is found in the Vectric Tutorial #6 for VCarve Pro 2D machining - http://www.vectric.com/WebSite/Vectric/ ... esign.html.

If you have a more specific question about this process after you review the tutorial, by all means post it. A lot of good answers to be found from the community.

You create a new file then open bitmap.
If it is a black and white picture, move the slider till it says 2 colour, click on the black and create vectors.
Then create your toolpath and save to your PP.
