To do an image trace you must first find and save a suitable image, and then, under the “Import” menu at the bottom of the left-hand toolbar, run the “Image Trace” tool
The video gives a quick run-down of the process. See also the following handout:
The right-hand side of the screen shows what your carved design will look like. Since this part of the project uses a 1/16" bit, any details smaller than 1/16" will not carve. Sometimes this means that you have to change the design to something bolder or simpler for it to carve properly
7. Change the cut depth
Select the design
From the upper menu, click on “Edit – Select All”
Change the depth
The “Cut” tab of the toolpane sets the depth of the cut
To keep from cutting straight through the lid of the box, the cut needs to be only 1/16” deep
Drag the depth slider to 1/16” (halfway between 0” and 1/8”)
Or, enter “0.0625” in the “Depth” window just below the slider
Select just the outer hexagon
Click on the outer hexagon
Delete that hexagon
Right-click on the selected hexagon
From the drop-down menu, select "Remove"
8. Finishing steps
Check the time the job will take
In the lower right-hand corner, click on the “Simulate” button. This will calculate the time the Carvey will take to cut the project
