Frequently asked questions
What are open paths and why do they matter?
An open path has a start and an end that do not meet. A cutter can follow it, but it cannot fill it, offset it for kerf, or weed it. A shape you meant to cut out needs a closed path.
Why does my laser software reject my SVG?
Common reasons: the design is an embedded bitmap rather than paths, text is still live text in a font the laser PC does not have, the SVG has no width and height in real units, or it uses features like masks and filters the software ignores. The checker names which.
Why does my SVG import at the wrong size?
It has no physical units, so the software guesses a DPI. Set width and height in mm or inches.
