I have a pattern i scaned in as a bitmap i just want to engrave it into the surface about .032 which I have done before with other patterns & i know that in some areas it can go a little deeper but it keeps going .187 or deeper in some areas I have the tooling set with a 60 deg bit at .001 depth. I tried the engraving tooling but that just creates the pattern with dots not a smooth line .Im working in pw2 I tried adjusting the pixels, default corner fit, color threshold, any one know how I can achive what Im looking for? thanks- Jeff

Hi Jeff
It sounds like you are trying to v carve. If you use a tool with an angle larger than 60 degrees it will not cut as deep into the material
