Can you walk me through the steps to do the emblem on a 12"X12"CC1.76" board

This was covered at:

Creating designs from elements

If one has a design idea one wants to make, usually it can be shown / mocked up as a pixel image, and put together using some basic elements. For example: [image2] All one should need for that is a portion of a U.S. flag, and the Marine Corps seal — fortunately, both are easily sourced on Wikimedia Commons: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/a/a4/Flag_of_the_United_States.svg https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/b/b3/Seal_of_the_United_States_Marine_Corps.svg

USMC Seal SVG file in Carbide Create

Hello, I’m trying to set up my toolpaths for the USMC Seal in the Carbide Create library. However, some of the lines are purple. From what I read, these are open toolpaths and need to be fixed. Is there a quick fix for this? I’d really like to use this image for a flag I’m making and I’m on a deadline. Has anyone fixed this already and willing to share? Thank you in advance for any help!
