Filled shapes engraving as lines?

[DaveChevalier]

Hi all,

Reasonably experienced LB user here with a strange new issue. Art created in Illustrator and imported into LB as an SVG. Layer set to fill, preview shows filled shapes, when engraving on my test masking tape, it’s only engraving the outlines of the shape?

LB 1.4.04, also tested same issue with 1.4.03.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks!

Just recently or in the past?

Don’t use illustrator but have you checked these?

[DaveChevalier]

I’ll double check that

Have you tried importing it as an Illustrator format file instead of an svg?

What does the Preview show?

[DaveChevalier]

I didn’t screenshot it but I did look, it’s black solid filled shapes with the movements in red

I may just recreate the file and then import as AI

I do all my designing with Illustrator and I’ve never had a problem importing those files into Lightburn. I have had problems with svg files from other people though so I open those in Illustrator, fix anything that looks wrong and save them as .ai files to use.

Duplicated layer as line only?
