.STL & .SVG files to import not allowed?
Still new to this software and machine.
I see that I can purchase files on ETSY and for the most part they are all STL &SVG files.
I try to import but it is not allowed or available.
Is Carveco Maker not compatible with these files.
I have loaded svg files with Lightburn for my laser cnc machine no problem but no with carveco.
Maybe a different site for compatible files suggested?

Hi Alex,
Provided you're currently working in Carveco Maker Version: 1.17 Build: 2020-07-27-0736-50338108 or later, which you can confirm by selecting the Help > About Carveco menu option in your software, you can import an SVG file into an open model using the Vector > Import menu option and import an STL file into an open model using Relief > Import > Import 3D Model menu option.
If you have not done so already, please complete the Carveco Fundamentals training course available on our company website.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
I have the same issue but Carveco Maker it will not see the file and the options under relief I am not able to choose but it is on my desktop and I am able to bring it up in 3D paint
Hi Marlin Adams,
An SVG file contains vector artwork. Therefore, you must select the Vector > Import menu option in your open model, and then select the SVG file you that want to import.
Thanks for your time and consideration.
I found out what I was doing wrong :) I forgot to click new model :) But thank you for the reply
