Do not engrave this text

You can use the Image Mask feature in LightBurn.

Short answer that fixed it. the dxf file when I tried it before i created this message would loose half the image when i tried the booleen method, so I imported a svg file of the same image and that worked, so im thinking there is something wrong with the dxf file.

Also depends on ‘who’ (software wise) generated the dxf file.

Another option is, de-select everything and “edit → select open shapes” This will do just that, then you can figure out what’s wrong…
