I want to make the diresta tool tote project for my nephew for Christmas, but I think it would be fun to do some engravings with Vcarve on it rather than just using a round bit. I the only option to screenshot it and do a bitmap trace or is there a more effecient way to do it? ---

Good question, that is the only way I know of. I have done this and it seems to work well. It would be nice if you could import g code into V Carve and reverse design. ---

Any luck on the new 360 skills? 🙂 (Not really expecting it, but thought I would ask before I figure out cutting one). ---

Hi nogeel, Have you tried engraving it with a v bit using Easel Pro? Jeff ---

I actually already have it set up in easel and will likely use it to carve. I just wanted 3D tabs and it is a little nicer to work off a single images rather than have multiple workspaces to get easel to do what you want. A pet peeve for me is easel uses a vbit to cut outside profiles when I have a roughing and V bit selected. It was a preference thing. I do still like easel and use it to design a work. ---

Cool. We’ve heard that feedback a lot about cut-through outlines and multiple bits. It’s something we’re keeping in mind as we look to improve the product. ---

3d tabs would be great too particularly pushing this for businesses. CNC dwell marks are unsightly when you are selling a sign. ---

Just wondering if there is a way to import to Vcarve from Easel. ---

I am curious what what is it from Easel that you would want to import into Vcarve? ---

I realize this is an old thread, but what is the best way to adjust for plywood thickness and bit size so the tabs fit together correctly in Easel. I did make this in pro back in December, but Kind of gave up because the pieces didn’t end up fitting together. After doing some reading I see that people often adjust to compensate, but there aren’t good ways to do that in easel, correct? ---

It was the design which basically rather than having to draw it out myself and because I have Vcarve already I just wanted to use it to do the carve.
