carving pattern on an arc

[lynnfrwd]

Thanks Connie for the advice. Being a novice however I'm not familiar with the "edit envelope". I too only have the designer 2.xxx, but in the edit tab I see no "edit envelope." Can you give me some advice about how to find and use the edit envelope. This sounds like it might work for me.

It is a feature of the Designer 3 PRO version. CORRECTION: Edit Envelope was introduced in Designer 2.0

Connie, I only have designer 2.xxx but I also have the stl import add-on that came with pattern editor. Is the edit envelope a part of pattern editor?

Thanks

It is not part of pattern editor, but neither is stl importer.

Oscar - I see you have STL Importer, but not Pattern Editor and, yes, you do have Designer 2. Edit Envelope was part of the Designer 2 upgrade.

Connie, thank you. Good info.

I want to carve a pattern in a half moon arc instead of a straight line. How can I do this?

I would do that with a line drawing to make your pattern. You can also use CorelDraw or Adobe Illustrator ( Photo Shop) type programs.
