Hey, I would like to know how to engrave a design on stone using cnc router machine using AutoCAD. I want results like this on stone. I am a begineer in AutoCAD so please guide me. I need to engrave a 2D floral vector on stone in 3D using that machine. The results I need can be found in the attachment. Thanks!

I wouldn't use AutoCAD for this... Try using the following:

Inventor HSM is exactly what you're looking for. Try it out, there's alot of help in the help documentation.

Hey thanks for your help. Do you know any good online learning source for complete begineers to learn these autodesk softwares? I am doing civil engineering. Will I need Inventor in my civil engineering career?

Inventor would be for manufacturing. Civil 3D would be best for Infrastructure.

The best source for learning the software is a reseller. However, you can also find training materials on the Autodesk AU site.
