Possible invert question. But not sure

Hi. First time poster. Had my laser about a year. Mira 9.
I’m doing a logo and I have a really good trace of the logo. However, I am epoxy filling the logo after so I need my lines between colours to be thicker.
I’ve done many already, but this one is causing me trouble. I can’t seem to swap the fill and line areas.
Right now, it’s filling in where I don’t want and not filling where I do want. Confusing I’m sorry. Adding a photo of the logo. Where it’s black, I don’t want filled. Where it’s not, I do want filled. I’ve tried offset, duplicate lines. I just can’t sort this one out. If you can help guide me, I’d be so appreciative. Thank you

If you add another shape (like a square) outside it, it negates the whole thing: [image] And a slightly different example, this time done by changing the outer line around the design to a ‘Line’, instead of leaving it as part of the Fill layer: [image] In the case above, the design alr…

Ahhhhhh! You are amazing! All I had to do here was literally set my outer line to ‘line’. I thought I tried everything but clearly I did not! Thank you!
