  Hi Brad,
  
  Please try these steps:

  1. Press the F2 key on your keyboard to work in the 2D View.
  2. Using the Create Rectangle tool, draw a square with the Angle set to 45 degrees. The rotation angle makes the square a diamond shape.
  3. With the diamond shape selected, press the N key on your keyboard to enter Node Editing mode.
  4. Position the mouse cursor over the top-right span in the diamond shape, then press the A key on your keyboard. The linear span in the diamond shape is converted to an arc.
  5. Position the mouse cursor over the top-left span in the diamond shape, then press the A key on your keyboard. The linear span in the diamond shape is converted to an arc, and you now have a heart shape.
  6. Click and drag vertically to create a selection envelope around the top and bottom nodes, then use the up and down arrow keys on your keyboard to adjust the shape of the heart.

  Hi Richard Roark,

  You would need to create an Area Clearance toolpath, with your heart-shaped vector selected. Please watch the following demonstration video included in our Carveco Fundamentals training course: Area Clearance

  Thanks for your time and consideration.
