    Creating a vector to profile cut an .STL file

    I'm new to CNC routing in general & super new to routing 3d .STL files & I'm trying to figure out how to create a vector so I can profile cut around this image. I would node edit a vector shape but the .jpg thumbnail image isn't clear enough and you cant really see the edges well enough on the grayscale to draw it.

    Any help is greatly appreciated

    Do you have Aspire or V Carve Pro?

    Under 3D modeling tools, "Create Vector boundary from selected components".
