Aligning Vectors
The Vector Alignment tools are useful for positioning individual vectors or groups of vectors within your design.
Vector Layers
Vector Layers are useful for methodically organising your 2D design artwork and can also be used as a way of grouping elements to be machined without having to individually select Vector elements one-by-one.
Importing Vectors
Carveco software allows you to import vectors in a variety of different formats. In this video, Leighton walks us through some of the common ways to work with these different formats, including how to preserve layers and the original dimensions of imported artwork.
Fixing Imported Vectors
In this video we'll take a look at fixing some common issues with imported vector artwork.
Importing Images
This video covers the different ways you can import Bitmap Images into Carveco.
Tracing Images
Understand the fundamentals of the Bitmap to Vector tool to trace imported Bitmap images, This popular tool allows you to quickly turn bitmaps into high-quality vectors suitable for CNC machining.
Colour Palette
The Colour Palette is a useful tool for showing and managing the number of colours that appear in your 2D design work. Having control over the number of colours in your work is especially important when using the Bitmap to Vector tool.
Flood Fill
The Flood Fill family of tools allow you to colour vector shapes and vector artwork. This is useful when simulating your toolpaths as it can give you or your customer a preview of a finished painted model within the simulation.
Magic Wand
The 'Magic Wand' tool allows you to automatically create a vector boundary around sections of imported artwork or imported relief models. Furthermore, you can adjust the tolerance of your selection to determine how closely you wish to follow the edge of the selection.
