I scanned this pattern for a friend and cant get it to work. What I want to do is cut out the pattern thats in black. What happens is when I place it on the board it wants to also carve out the back ground as well. I inverted the pattern to see if that would help but didnt. My scanned pattern is attached.

Please attached the MPC file, so we can see what you are doing.

When you import the image press lower to eliminate the background

I did the cutout to the inside of the line. You can change it to the outside if that is what you want.

I would like to know how to post a new thread on making a spiral. The spiral tool is gone. Are there spirals in the pattern store?:)

When I imported the pattern I lowered it juat a bit and made it smaller. After it was on the board I selected it, made it a carve region and clicked on the "Pierced" checkbox. I also selected the "Best" setting for the bit optimization and removed any feathering. This method will take a little longer to carve and will leave a slight taper on the inside cut but, will probably give better results.
