This one on layers added additional knowledge that made it easier to manage. We have had Aspire for years but now. Go to your videos rather than the ones by Aspire. You make learning easier. Thanks for putting all the time into this for you KZbin crowd.

@@IDCWoodcraft Well, I'm a NY Mets fan and wanted to replicate their logo they use on a baseball with the city skyline in the background and the Brooklyn bridge, Mets name, bridge and ball stiches in the foreground. Since I have to start from a picture, being able to remove some parts temporarily while I work on and clean up other parts, using layers will make the job easier. I'm sure some people are wondering what my intentions are using a logo that has to be licensed to reuse but I'm not selling it or giving it to anyone. It's just to hang on the wall in my man cave (AKA my garage). Here's a picture someone put on a wood mug that I can share here. bit.ly/3btQeBa

I have a question, in the video when you show the design for the dust boot. Theres what appears to be a photo of the bottom of your spindle. How did you import that photo, and what are you using it for? Is it to reference for your design, can you import the photo with correct size aspect ratio to take measurements from?, or design around? Perhaps you can trace different elimints from the photo? Im very interested in learning more about the implications of this. Thank you for the videos, they have been very informative. I've been using software like SpaceClaim, Fusion 360, Solidworks, and AutoCAD for years to design parts for manufacturing. There has been a pretty big leaning curve jumping over to vetric to design more artistic types stuff apposed to parts and componets and your videos have been helping a lot. Thanks You!

Hi, Garrett. I learned early on that even if I only have 2 tool paths (like your state project) it is better to still use layers so you can take advantage of the "Associate with toolpath" option in the selector tool. Doing this, you will not have to select the vectors every time the design changes. What's your opinion?

Hey Garrett, So heres a question. I would like to bring in a bitmap (in my case a rose picture) then take each color out of the 16 colors that Vectric breaks it into, and create a seperate carving outline for just that color. I am thinking to somehow assign the resulting carving outline for each individual color onto seperate layers. Such as black on layer 1, light pink kn layer 2, green on layerthree, etc. Then create a different toolpath for each layer so I can in essance select which colors will carve deep and which will carve less deep. Essentially do something like divide the 16 layers into one of 16 depths in the carving. Any clue on that?
