I know that this is a questions that has been asked a lot but I didn’t see any specific answer to this.
I engrave a lot of images, black & white (threshold mode), like this one below.
As you can see, there are a lot of white spaces and therefore wasted time.
I know the fast whitespaces option and I use it even if I limited the speed to avoid stuttering.
Here’s my question: is there a way to smart engrave this and divide the image in - let’s say - 4 groups to avoid wasting so much time with white spaces ?
The longest, not practical way would be to cut my images in multiple parts but I’d like to avoid that if there is a built-in option.
‘Flood-Fill Scanning’ is for vector fills. The OP identified they are using an Image for this question, so this is why I offer the split image on the diagonal to help speed the processing of this type of work.
It’s definitely worth it though, your suggestion divided the engraving time almost by half.
Not sure It can be applied to every of my design but I’ll go in that direction.
