I created a simple design that I want to send to a friend that is a CNC creator also. How can I save it as a SVG file that I can send it to him via email. I use carbide create pro. Is this doable

so v7 files will need to be converted so as to use them in v8. Fortunately, Carbide Create has a feature for exporting the 3D model as a height/depth map pixel image:
