Lightburn, raise z for traversal moves?

When cutting a shape, the z will raise then lower between shapes.
When filling a shape, if the shape has cutouts, the z remains fixed during traversal moves. Is there a way to force a z up then down during traversal moves in a fill?

Look at what happened to my beautiful unofficial SmashMouth tribute banner… Who will make it right? :sob:

Looks more like laser didn’t shut off between moves.

It’s a pen plotter. It keeps the pen pressed during traversal.

You need to tell it to raise the pen. There must be a way to do it or you couldn’t mark something as simple as a group of single characters…

I don’t have a pen plotter, so I’m just guessing.

The issue is with the fill mode. When doing lines it behaves properly.
There are very few fill-mode settings, definitely nothing along the lines of "home and reset z between traversals.

There is no way at present to tell it to raise the Z during traversals with a fill.

Looks like I’ve been rolled. Somebody once told me this would happen.
