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.
