Import a drawing or model#
- Click Import File in the toolbar, or drag the file onto the canvas.
- Pick the file.
| File | Comes in as |
|---|---|
| SVG | Paths |
| DXF | Paths. You'll be asked for units if the file has none |
| STL | A rectangle you can move and size. The model shows in 3D View |
| PNG, JPG, WebP | A picture for 3D carving or photo V-carving |
| G-code | A program you can simulate |
If nothing appears#
- SVG: convert text to outlines in your drawing program, then export again.
- DXF: explode blocks first. See supported DXF entities.
- Wrong size from DXF: you picked the wrong units. Re-import.
Shapes from SVG won't pocket?#
The shape was drawn as a line, not a filled outline, so it's open. See Open and closed paths.
