I'm actually not sure about that one... normally when etching, I switch the cutter into raster mode. I'm normally etching something grayscale, which I don't know how to do with a vector image, as I don't know how to get the laser cutter to do variable power to get variable cut depths with a vector. ...

I thought of that as a possibility, but am hoping to avoid that route. This is a simplified example of the real case I am trying to do, which is to etch road data onto a topographical map. The actual design I'm etching has something like 50 shapes that will be used to clip the (very intricate, large...

I have a layer of shapes and a layer of paths that I am using as the source for laser cutting some objects. My goal is to clip the paths to the outline of the shapes, then move the resulting paths and shapes close together to prevent material waste when cutting. So far, I have done the clipping port...
