Vector > Vector Library
Use this menu option to display the Vector Library panel.
The Vector Library button on the File
and Vector Creation toolbars is a shortcut
for this menu option. The availability of this button is license
dependent.
Use the Vector Library
panel to manage vector data saved as .eps, .dxf, .dwg, .ai, .wmf and .pic files you want to import into a
Carveco model. Carveco recalls the position in which the vector was saved.
A vector library comprises one or more folders containing one
or more vector files. Carveco creates an area on the Vector Library panel for each folder within a library
that contain valid files. If an .eps, .dxf, .dwg, .ai, .wmf, or .pic file within a library shares the same name as a
.jpg or .gif file
within the same library, Carveco creates an icon next to its filename.
You can click the icon on the panel to hide
the list of files within a library's folder, and the icon to display the
list.
To search the Vector
Library, enter your search term in the box at the top of the panel. Use
the wild card * character to search within words.
