Hello,
I just got a laser engraver (Xtool D1) and design and then export .dxf files from Sketchup pro. Their software (Laserbox Basic) does seem to recognize my shapes as closed so I can't use their "fill" option to fill/engrave in between the lines. This is what I heard back from the Xtool FB group: "it's likely that your original isn't being recognized as closed. The lines need to be welded so they are actually connected." I have tried different export options without success. I'm looking for some advice regarding Polylines with width, Wide line entities, etc. Thanks.

This tool appears the have great potential. An chance there is a tutorial, as I am have trouble introducing Lat.,Long. values into the model? I think I'm missing something simple.

Dave,

Thanks so much for the new tool!
That's just what I needed!

Greetings,

I wonder if there is a way to prevent an arc from segmenting. Sometimes when I draw a 2D form with an arc and then Push/Pull it, the new curved surface looks very rough. If I then undo the Push/Pull and try to select the the arc, I see it has become many segments. This is also tedious when selecting a path for the Follow Me on a segmented arc. Is there a way to prevent this segmenting or to combine a series of segments into a single line?

Thanks
