Bitmap > Paint

Use this menu option to paint on the active bitmap layer using the primary and secondary colours. You can use the Paint tool to modify any image on a bitmap layer you have created or imported into Carveco.
The Paint button  on the Design Tools toolbar is a shortcut for this menu option. The accessibility of this button is layout dependent.

To use the Paint tool:

  1. In the Project Tree, select the bitmap layer on which you want to paint.
  2. Select the colour you want to use.
  3. Select Bitmap > Paint or click  . The Tool Settings: Paint Tool panel is displayed.
  4. To change the shape of the brush used for painting, click the Change Brush Shape icon beside the slider. You can switch between a round and a square tip.
  5. Click and drag the slider to specify the size of the brush.
    If you are working in the 3D view, ensure that Display Bitmap  in the 3D View toolbar is toggled on.
  6. Move the cursor over the area in which you want to paint, and then drag the cursor to paint in the primary colour.
    To paint in the secondary colour, press and hold down the Shift key when you drag the cursor.
