Hi guys! I’m an absolute newbie here 
I have engraved and cut my first test files. No problem with it, pretty simple so far…
… but the question is that x/y axis are acting like an ink printer: x sweep and y advance. It doesn’t cut moving the laser from object to object, sequentially. Don’t know if I’m explaining right… Is there any setting to allow me saving time? Anything I try to cut/engrave delays a lot acting the laser this way…
Thanks in advance! Greetings from Spain.
You have some control by using the Optimization Settings in the Laser window.
In Line mode, it pretty much goes where it wants in each layer. There is a setting called “cut inside objects first”, but I cannot find it right now.
In Fill mode, that is the image mode and is a raster scan style. You can manage the order by using Grouping, and using the options at the bottom of the Cut Settings Editor window.
In the Offset Fill mode, the path is sort of a spiral in each object being filled. This one is for special situations only.
Users have gotten pretty creative using these choices.
Here is where you control that.
Sounds like you’re describing a scanning operation used for an “image” layer. In your cut/layer window, does the layer say “image”? If so, this is the only way to process it.
There are alternatives workflows to get you want you want, but please confirm we’re dealing with the expected behavior first.
Many thanks! I’ll try to play with those settings 
I’ll check, mate.
From your description, I understand you have a line design you intent to cut, but I guess its layer is in fill mode.
Now, an image is worth a thousand words, perhaps you can show us a screenshot of your design and the layers area? And a photography of the result you get. It will save some guesses.
