Learning more about engraving

This might be easier … :slightly_smiling_face:

  1. Create a new Illustrator file.
  2. Drag the jpeg you want to Engrave onto the file and drop it.
  3. Embed the jpeg. ( button on the top row when it’s selected)
  4. Drag out an unfilled rectangle around the jpeg. Give it a stroke color.
  5. Save the File as an SVG. Make sure you select the Embed Images radial dial when you save it. (Use the settings from the tutorial here: How to Save an SVG file )

Then you will need to drag and drop the SVG file onto the Dashboard in order to avoid that black filled box thing at the moment…they’re trying to find it and squish it. :wink:

Then you can use the SD engrave settings on the engrave…it does look best for that kind of image.
