When I do this with VCarvePro, I get a lot of noise that will take me something just short of forever to clean up. Don't know if it's just my technique or the limitation of VCP. I have made one pass at converting with the BOBCAD Art program (inherited when I purchased a used CNC but know nothing about). The BOB-ART appears to have two options (3D and Emboss). My feeble attempt at using it suggests the "emboss" option may have promise if I can figure out how to use it. Long answer to your question ... being just barely past "newbie" in CNC, I can't tell if my problem is software or technique. I suspect some conversion software is better than others and am hoping someone out there has a great conversion program and can lend a hand.
