Have a DXF that I have imported that is filling in an odd way. I created the DXF, have used it for other things successfully, so have no idea why it is behaving the way it is. Hoping someone can explain what I need to do to correct it. I have gone through it and removed all duplicate lines, as well.
I have attached three images. One is what is should look like. One is what it does when LINE is selected, and the other is what it looks like when FILL is selected.
Thank you for any assistance.
Looks like there may be some duplicate shapes in your design.
Try selecting everything then Edit->Delete Duplicates.
Yep. Did that earlier. No love.
The T looks lighter than the rest of the letters. Zoom in and look off offsets. Or apply offset to T.
I completely overlooked the T. Jeez, it must be late.
The T is interesting to me as a newbie. I could not find anything wrong with it. I ended up grabbing the start/end node and putting it right back where it was, and that made LB happy. 
The other stuff… not so much…
I have been doing exactly that since I originally posted. No love. I’m stumped. That’s why I posted here.
Have you tried auto-join. Dxf’s have a lot of open lines that need to be closed.
Great job. Your finished product looks great.
Did you use a fiber laser or is that CO2 with CerMark?
Cheers

It’s Fiber. 30W. I’m still very new (ignorant) to LightBurn. I create and use DXFs constantly for much more critical things and LB’s handling of it was pretty frustrating. I’m sure that I’ll acclimate shortly. These are for fun and being donated to my home DZ. Thanks for the kind words.
Also made these for them -
Awesome, what do charge for a customer to create those custom openers, the small and the one in your original photo?

No real idea to be honest. We don’t normally do work of that nature. Most of the time (85%) we use it to mark customer parts for identification and traceability. 12%-13% of the time, we use it to mark custom tooling and fixtures. The remaining 2%-3% I use it for stuff like this, pro bono and charity.
As said in another topic, if you can export to AI or SVG format, LightBurn will probably handle them better than with DXF, even if its support will be improved.
