I have been following this post and find it great for a beginner like me , I am trying to find the video about clipart, I want to carve some clipart, say the horse but can't seem to find it, Rcnewcomb's post was very helpful for adding text in clipart, how do I carve the horse, I get the message no vectors selected , but I can't seem to selet them

Any of the 3D toolpaths tutorials will show you how to create the toolpath for a 3D item. By the sounds of it you're using the wrong sort of toolpath or you've got the vector boundary option selected with no vector.
