Hey guys, I'm trying to work out how you could optimize rastering.

For example, if you have 2 lines you want to raster, but they're say 1 metre apart, the machine travels the whole 1 metre to scan once, back and forth, and it's very slow. Is there a way you can make it raster 1 line first, then it starts on the 2nd line, instead of it trying to do both at the same time?

Hi
yes thats easy, you just need to give both a different color and then give both the same settings.

Doh, of course!

Would be nice if there was a way the software could differentiate automatically, say if the parts were over 5cm away from each other or something, but that'll do

Hi my friend
you need to do something, what would you do if the software is doing all for you????

Don't think you could get much lazier anyway, after all, you've got the laser cutting out things for you, bit of software optimization isn't gonna hurt

Speaking of finding ways of being lazy, just figured out a way of getting Illustrator to do all the boring vector tracing work for me.
