+1 that's what I do. I use a scribe. Or even a hobby knife.

Masking tape on the surface with a good hb or b pencil works for me... It also allows you protect the surface while you work.

I recently bought a few pages of printable stickers, A4 size. So thought it could be used for this application. I don't have autocad on my computer anymore but it would make it easy to draw up unusual shapes and then use hand tools to cut them out. No need for cnc!

Just an idea anyway

Yes!! I forgot about crack and peal paper... really good stuff to lay designs down on carbon, but don't apply it directly to the carbon surface.

Don't stick it to the cf?? Why not?

Well, crack and peal manufacturers usually make the paper with high tack adhesives which makes it a little difficult to remove the paper from most surfaces...
if you can find low tack version (something similar to window masking), you can use it directly on the carbon... try a small piece first and see what happens
when you try to remove it...
