If you’re unfamiliar w/ drawing in vector tools, please try these tutorials first:
- Let's make a coaster
- Let's draw an "ellipse" with new users
- Help please with design carving protocol / setup in Carbide Create / Motion
Unfortunately, the Bézier curve tool in Carbide Create has some odd limitations (off-path nodes must be equidistant and in-line (smooth) with the associated on-curve node) — you may do better drawing in Inkscape or some other vector editor, saving as an SVG, and then importing into Carbide Create (verifying the size of the import) and then doing CAM.
There are also video tutorials at: http://carbide3d.com/carbidecreate/video/
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. If you’d like to share an exemplar, we’d be glad to take a look at it and suggest something.
