Frustrated: Pattern Creation Cut-outs

I designed some pistol grips (see attached jpeg) which made use of a cross-hatch pattern with my 80W CO2 red-and-black (OMTECH?) laser.

I want to make some refinements, but for the life of me, I can’t duplicate my former efforts, creating a cross-hatch pattern and then cutting a shape from it.

I’m probably overlooking something obvious – and no doubt I will learn about Lightburn capabilities and techniques from observations which respondents make.

I have included:

  • a picture of a laser-cut sample
  • some screen shots of patterns
  • a LBRN2 file to examine (and play with)

Nice pattern work!

I’ve copied a small section of the pattern I think you were after, and straightened it to use as a template for a new array as attached.
