You'll then be invited to save the image into a "Favorites" folder.

To import a raster image, use File/Import/Import Image File to choose the file and adjust the clipping and 'depth' of cutting.

The "Auto" selection doesn't seem to work. If that happens then you'll need to use the Edit/Preferences./3D Graphics dialog and check the "Off" button under Hardware Acceleration.

If your computer doesn't have a decent graphics chip, you'll find that the 3D rendering in the main window will be screwed up.

Raster data can be imported into the basic package in several image file formats. ATX Hackerspace owns a copy of the Project Designer - but none of the plugins.

That software cannot import any vector or polygonal formats (DXF, STL) without further add-ons, which cost $200 per additional file format. The only software available for the CarveWright is the "CarveWright Project Designer" - which costs $200. It can also do routing using shaped bits (that you have to buy from CarveWright) with vector cut paths.So, while the wood can be up to 5" thick, you can only cut down an inch or so into it - and because the cutting bit is quite large (1/8th"), you won't get sharp-cornered cutouts. Cut depth is 1" with the 1/8" cutting bit and 0.8" with the 1/16" carving bit.You can only use all of that maximum twelve foot length if you don't mind supplying rollers to support the wood and if you don't mind wearing out the machine prematurely! (Eeeekkk!) So the practical maximum workpiece length is really 3'.Materials with glue (plywood, MDF, etc) wear out the bits much faster - dense hardwoods may have to be cut in more passes. For long pieces, the precision gets worse. 010" in the Y and Z and the step width is between. The accuracy of any single raster carving line is on the order of. Min Size : 1.5" wide x 0.5" thick x 7" long. Workpiece: Max Size : 14.5" wide x 5" tall x 12' long.Here is my quick summary (please correct me if I misread something): The meaty bit of the documentation from the CarveWright web site is buried in Support/FAQ here:

It does work, and I have updated the carvewright's firmware. The card is either in the card reader, or in the Carvewright machine. The software, and card reader, are attached to the Design machine upstairs in the Mezzanine room. I recently fixed the motor encoder and driveshaft spindle cable.Sometimes it jams and holds on to a tool so hard it can't be removed.Sending it to Houston to get rebuilt would cost quite a bit, and may not be worth it.In theory it's replaceable, but it's quite literally glued in place and jammed there. Tool holder is very, very, very beat up.Tractor sandpaper belt has a rip in it.According to Martin B, in late December 2011:
