hello,

i want to draw with illustrator on the ipad pro, and these drawings i want to engrave with a cnc milling machine (engrave not cut). Is this without problems possible or is there some problems with the app about the vectors etc.

Illustrator on iPad has the same Vector tools as the desktop version. There might be some features which haven't been added yet of course, but the Vector tools seem to work the same and convert quite well on opening in the desktop version.

Do you normally use Illustrator then convert the image with the CNC software?
If so then I would think the software would work the same from iPad to CNC software. Depending how you convert the files of course.
