Importing PDF patterns

It might be a case by case transfer using different techniques based on complexity of the design.

For the example all I did was import it as an image. Traced it, applied a cut path to it, and deleted the original import to leave only the cut paths. It looks good from the designer viewport.

But I am sure there are half a dozen different methods to do it. I don't have the dxf add-on but I have a feeling that is probably the way to go.

I was able to cover the image to a DXF and import. what it gave me was a tracing around the border of the thick line. I applied a cut path, specified bit, and then hide cutout to get the image below. My question is will the Carvewright cut this out as a vector or raster? When it tries to cut this out as a raster I end up breaking bits...

It will not be raster. The bit will cut along the line at the specified depth until it cuts through to final depth.
