The components are in my v8 library...I should copy them in the appropriate folder in 14 via the windows file explorer? I wasn't sure I could do that.

thanks Dave...I am trying to copy some cab doors and I used the ctrl c/ctrl v and on paste I see the blue comp box but nothing in it.

is it possible?

oh good question..
I'm at that very same crossroads my self.

Pilou
that's a very nice trace! I will chek it out

That is interesting on many levels and I bet it would be suitable for many artistic inflections.
Just to satisfy your curiosity etc

uh..okay
suddenly I feel like "penny" talking to "Sheldon"

...actually I wondered if there was a way to automate the trace with some raster/vector software.

got it thanks!

again thanks..
cotty isn't this rather cumbersome with so many arcs ,each having to be exploded and tweeked separately?

Dave how would I know if an image needs to be "straightened" ?

thanks both...I was indeed having trouble with broken/unformed surfaces.
I was using the standard bezier curve.

Do I need to place the image on a surface so the line/curves stay planar? ...or just overlap then delete the "tail"

What is the best method to trace a jpg image to make an intarsia pattern. I have several Bezier tools.

believe it or not...I was planning on buying pro as soon as I could...
the increase to 600 and annual upgrades is a deal breaker for me.
Back to turbocad I guess

I feel like helping newbs with SU has been such a waste of time.

indigogo and kickstarter have been in the news a few times...

well what ever he said it sounds evil!

...maybe it's just the accent.

hmmm looks like a hill to me.
In the comments one response was: "This is just another case of white man greed"

I bet the opposition to the project could be paid enough to change their opinion....no matter what their race was.

but the food shortage, at least as i see it, is entirely manmade..

You are saying that "somebody" is creating food shortages on purpose??? Who?

@unknownuser said:

we, as a species, definitely have the means to feed the entire world ten times over.. but we don't. why?

exactly what is this "means" that would feed 70 billion people (7 billion x 10) and I am interested in your answer as to "why we don't"

OK then! The FAO is lying and there wont be a food shortage!
