Hey Alan,

With [Vectric VCarve Pro](https://www.vectric.com/products/vcarve-pro), you can export a g-code toolpath for a CNC machine including the Onefinity, but not with the VCarve Pro evaluation version. You will first have to buy the regular Version ($699).

But before you spend money, you should know that there are powerful free and open source software packages that are very evolved nowadays. See here for examples:

- [How to choose your Vector graphics / CAD / CAM Software](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/t/advice-from-experienced-or-learning-software-users/20313/7)

A free and open “swiss army knife” for 2D and 3D modeling as well as exporting a g-code toolpath is [FreeCAD](https://freecad.org/).

To learn how to use this [discourse.org](http://discourse.org) forum, write a message to [this robot](https://forum.onefinitycnc.com/u/discobot) with the content “start tutorial” and then “start advanced tutorial”.

If you have [Trust Level “New” (0)](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/#trust-level-0-new) you cannot

If you reached [“Basic”](https://blog.discourse.org/2018/06/understanding-discourse-trust-levels/#trust-level-1-basic)" this way, you can:

In the message composition window, you have icons in the top bar which allow you to quote, make text bold, make text italic, insert a link, mark a text block as quoting, upload a file from your computer that will be inserted in your post (can be a mp4 video too), insert a list, insert a numbered list, insert an emoji or icon, insert date/time, and finally adjust some things (depending on your level).

Welcome to the forum!
