Tool paths over lapping / cutting twice

wanderingtruckie · April 5, 2026, 7:53pm

made a square, used grid array, tried various different settings each time, changed from padding to from centre, in preview tool path cuts some of the lines twice ?

if i put file into light burn, it doesn’t cross same line twice, i have done many a grid using light burn and it never goes over same line twice

I would assume MM would do the same paths as LB, cut time would be at least double, with all the double cutting.

is there a setting im missing ?

You Have to select your shapes then:
Ungroup (Ctrl + U)
Break Apart (Alt + B)
Delete Duplicates (Alt + D)
Auto-Join shapes (Alt + J)
Group again (Ctrl + G).

Your project has 180 duplicates.

i did see there were duplicates when i ungrouped , but wasn’t sure how to go about it
