Can I load a PDF image and convert it in Carbide Create?

I have some PDF files of some images and I want to convert them to the correct file format for CNC.

Can this be done in the Carbide Create software?

I do not yet have a CNC but I have a friend that does.

Thanks in advance.

Not directly. Carbide Create does no support the PDF file format.

You can open a PDF in a 3rd party application (vector drawing programs such as Inkscape work well) and then export or save to an SVG (or DXF) to get a file which will open in/import into Carbide Create.

Thank you.

I am new to the CNC world. Is the Inkscape a free software or does it require a license?

Regards,

Inkscape is free and very handy.
