Any tips or tricks to getting straighter lines would be very much appreciated. I know this is a simple project but I’m still at the simple stage lol.
Thanks,

In Carbide Create the only ways to get straight lines are to draw from grid-point to grid-point, or to draw a rectangle and then edit it down to only what is wanted.
What line are you having difficulty making straight?
Hey Will,
I was just going over the lines making sure it was straight and a lot were off by just a little but noticeable when I ran the simulation. Using the rectangle method would probably work better for me and will give that a shot.
One other note on this, I created this offset on the inside as I want to do an epoxy inlay and needed a separation for the two colors. Is there something I can do to square out those corners or create the outset a different way to it has those crisp lines?
When offsetting, Carbide Create rounds things off when going to the outside.
To square off the rounded insets draw a rectangle:
Then select both pieces of geometry:
and use Region Builder:
to select what one wants to keep:
Done
Select and delete the now redundant geometry:
Repeat for each corner.
