    Bought it...now how to use it.

    I found a PDF on the web of a design I want to cut out. I tried to load it into VCarve and it says...NO...probably just bitmap info. How do you convert it to something VCarve will see? I am including the file so someone can try it and see what I mean. Thanks for any help on this one.

    I got up this morning and tried the trace function in Corel. Got an image but not as clean as yours...node editing huh? Well thats new to me too. Still have a TON more to learn than I ever knew even existed.

    Maybe this will help...search for "free pdf converter"......if you can save it as a DXF or a DWG you can read it into any CAD program
