hi there guys just wondering if any of you have made up a Gcode for a Scottish thistle i have tried to do it on lazy cam with importing a picture from the internet but dont seem to work.
is there any part of my softwear missing to get this done. Any help would be very good.

I have never seen any info on using the Raster to vector part of LC.
I played with it a long time ago. Note that it says it's experimental.........

You are on your own, and frankly, would suggest you look at other software which does do a good job
with pictures. Vectric comes to mind or MeshCam maybe and I am sure there are others.

How about something like this  ???

No Guarantees, I just threw it together in a few minutes, but gives you something to work with.

Doesn't take long to do this kind of thing, but it takes years to learn it all.
I'm learning to like to rough things out in wood using CNC then use some hand carving tools to give it some character.
