Ok, i have this trace i did from a image from a pdf. Its a single trace. What i would like to do is have the laser cut the shape of the ship out but etch the rest onto the wood. How do i accomplish this becasue it seems that when i try to cut, it cuts it all, nut just the outer edge
thanks
Move the outer edge to a new layer.
Set the inside to fill and the outer layer to cut.
thats the issue, its a single trace so i do not know how to move just the outer edge. I cant ungroup (right click ungroup) it or break it apart. I cant select just the outer edge without it selecting all of it
OHHHHHH, maybe my tracing tolerance is to low and thats why i cant ungroup it??
I think i got it. Now, how do i know which order lightburn is going to do? i dont want it to cut first then try and engrave after there is a hole in the wood haha.
thanks
Please see:
Always run preview 
to see what the machine is going to do.
Preview will save you time and frustration.
Just make it a habit to check the preview before wasting material. It only takes a few seconds.
This would look really neat as an inlay… Here’s a video on inlays by Trotek laser.
