I don’t see the auto trace option that has been talked about in the GFUI. I upload a raster image to a new artwork file and I want to cut out around it. I have read in a few places that GF will automatically trace around the engraving to cut it out… My GF is not connected - I can only get to the s…

If GF is anything like every other company on the Planet, Support staff will be partially rated on metrics, including closed support tickets. If you want to talk about something open up a discussion in another category.

So the discussion forum isn’t a discussion? The actually open cases and review all messages in this forum?

We should really think of this forum as several different things that happen to live under the same roof. One of them is a discussion community, which you can find in categories like Everything Else and Beyond the Manual. Then there’s this category, Problems and Support, which works differently. It…
