I suspect the reason you’re getting disconnected segments is that centerline trace “dislikes” y-type or t-type intersections and the result is to lop off the branch from the original design. I realize this is not an answer to your query, merely a supposition. I see some contradictions to this suppo…

Hi Fred, I agree with your analysis; it’s certainly related to that. I use software that creates images like this one and then trace the lines. Creates cool puzzles but with a lot of manual work that I’d like to automate a bit… [image]

A combination of blur, threshold and edge-detect in an outside program might do what you need.

Any luck with this? [image] Cut Shapes Function Not Closing Tips and Tricks Select everything in your design and choose “Close Selected Paths with Tolerance”. Then use the Cut Shapes tool. All the shapes in your design are open to start with, but because of how our rend…
