Laser jumping around

Hello, I’ve been designing project for Christmas. When I go preview to see how it engraves, I’ve been noticing the one layer is jumping all over the place. Starts engraving one thing, before it’s finished, it jumps to another section and starts engraving that. I’ve figured it out on a fill setting, however this is a line layer and can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks!

Can you provide your cut optimization settings?

Click optimization settings across from the optimize cut path slider and screenshot that.

Try unticking reduce travel moves and reduce direction changes and see if those have any effect.

Still doing it unfortunately. It still finishes the job, just trying to speed up the engraving time.

I have rarely found the engraving logic to make sense…it wastes a lot of time being “smart”.

Peeking behind your options a bit the artwork looks extreeeemely detailes. You sure a fill wouldnt be a better option? Tryinf to trace that path of those bazillion lines would take forever in line mode.

Yeah, sure is extremely detailed but looks really cool. I’ll keep playing with it. Just wondering if there was a reason why it was doing it. Thanks for the help
