Hi Jeremy,

this is not the best place to ask about instructions for specific CNC devices.

I think you'll find some useful information and a lot of people who know about cutting tools and the extension used for it named gcodetools here:

From your drawing in Inkscape:

* Select File > Save a copy...
* Select EPS format
* In the options dialog box, select:
 - PostScript Level 2
 - Convert texts to paths

Then, within Vectric Aspire, select File > Import Vectors, and select the file.

Verify also that the dimensions of the imported artwork are correct.

Try the Import Vectors ("open file folder") icon, or visit Vectric support then ( http://support.vectric.com ).

You may need to have a blank document open in Aspire in order to import the vectors.

Can you help with this problem?

Provide an answer of your own, or ask Jeremy for more information if necessary.
