    Default Creating a vector to profile cut an .STL file

    I'm new to CNC routing in general & super new to routing 3d .STL files & I'm trying to figure out how to create a vector so I can profile cut around this image. I would node edit a vector shape but the .jpg thumbnail image isn't clear enough and you cant really see the edges well enough on the grayscale to draw it.

    Do you have Aspire or V Carve Pro?

    Under 3D modeling tools, "Create Vector boundary from selected components".
