Hey,

are there any plans on for of future version of lasercad which will make vektor engraving (outlines) possible? I tried simulation this with the cut function but due to the deceleration at the curves (lets say on letters) the engraving gets too dark. This is one of the things i really miss in the lo x7 ..

thank you

That's what the min power is for when you double click the cut settings.

There is an option in lasercad to offset vectors. If you offset all vectors about 0.1 or 0.2mm and select all, you could engrave the vertordrawing..
Although this is only for closed vectors.
Unfortunately there is no option for offset both sides (and close).
As i do almost all vectordrawings in another program (ArtCam) i'm able to do this bi-sided offset, and export it as DXF

Vectors itself have a width of 0(zero) so it's quite logic you can't engrave vertors itself, only the area that they surround.
