Hi all,

I can't seem to find much info on this software add-on if anything useful to understand what it does and how it does it? Any help on just vector stuff would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Felix

http://store.carvewright.com/product.php?productid=21143&cat=252&page=1 is the overview of the product.

I real application, vectors and centerline test follow the surface of the carving not the surface of the board being carved. If you carve a place with a recessed surface and put centerline text in it, the text will not show up on the simulated carve because it is carved on the surface of the project board. Select 'Conform' and the surface now becomes the surface of the project and the centerline letters show up.

Hope this helps.

If you wanted, it could look something like this

Look at my "Treasure Chest" in the pattern store projects. The lettering and the lines simulating board edges use Conform to get done. Otherwise vector carving can olny be done on the surface of the board.
