[WillAdams (William Adams (Carbide 3D))]

My take on this is the documentation should be up at:

Carbide 3D

and not behind a pay wall.

I’ve written a bit up on various things on the support queue as well as here:

Importing a file or a backgound image

I’ve searched, honestly, but I still can’t find out if the importing of images is fixed, or I’m just doing it wrong. Essentially, I drew around a spanner (wrench) with the intention of scanning it, editing the image in Affinity Photo, and then importing it as a background, to draw a vector over it, or as a vector.

I have some very simply geometry that I imported as SVG and now simply trying to group these various features together. All I want to do is to punch out the holes in the lettering so that it is all one entity. The reason is if I try to center the whole works, it treats every entity as a separate thing and then jumbles them altogether in a clump. Yes, I’ve tried s…

If folks will let us know what task or concept or file or project they are having difficulties with we will do our best to explain things plainly.
