Importing VCarve Pro files into Carbide Create

I am having trouble importing a file I created on VCarve Pro into Carbide Create. I know I have done it before I just cant remember how. Can someone help me with this? Thank you

Export as a vector file type, if need be, load into a 3rd party tool such as Inkscape and write out as an SVG.

I’m curious why you would need to do that?

For a 2d File, click on the “2D view” tab and hit “Control + A” at the same time (select all).
Then go to the top bar, select “File”, and go down until you see the “Export” flyout. Then Select SVG. Save the SVG.

Or you can just install the correct post processor, export the G-Code, and load it directly into CM.
If you are trying to do a 2.5/3D piece that’s probably a heck of a lot easier.

The export to SVG is the best approach. Watch out for scaling issues when you open the file in CC.

Thank you for the help.
