I'm having a similar problem to this with the iPad version, even on 1.9. My preset for the document is the size of my laser bed, dpi is 96 as that is what both my Glowforge interface expects as well as Lightburn. When I create a 2” square and export using Document Properties when I open in Lightburn it’s always way bigger. If I export and manually set the dpi to 96 it appears to work, at least for Lightburn. So it’s ignoring the document dpi when exporting. No matter how I set dpi it will not come 8nto the iOS version of Adobe Illustrator at the correct size. Even turning off preview doesn’t help there. How do I set the default dpi to 96 on the iPad version from 300 to 96? IT would make life simpler if it don’t have to change it every single export.

I just tried this with 1.9 on my iPad and I’m still seeing the same issue both for Alternate and Winding. So it’s not fixed yet.

I downloaded the Windows versions of AD to see if I can replicate this behaviour there and I can. So this is common to both version of AD, not just an iOS issue.

I've attached both. When I create this same test in Silhouette Studio on my Windows laptop I don’t get the fill problems. I don’t own AD for Windows so I can’t check to see if it’s a common AD issue or just on iOS. Samantha is a popular font for signage and such in the laser world due to its plethora of glyphs.

I’m still seeing this problem even with 1.8.4.4 of the iOS app. I type the text (same Samantha font), covert it to curves and add the letters to “weld” them. In Winding mode I can see the fills it leaves, in Alternate mode it looks ok in AD. But when I open that in the UI for my laser the fills between the letters are still there even thigh they don’t show in AD. I can do this fine in other tools on my Windows laptop. But AD on iOS at least just screws it up consistently. Will this ever get fixed?

Ignore the rectangle. It’s just here I highlighted the area. The point is the e, o, l a and the swirl at the end should not be pink in the inner section. It should be transparent. I’m actually engraving the letters vs cutting them out. If I set the layer Fill in Ad to winding vs alternate, it looks just like what the UI sees. So something is getting screwed up in the SVG file out of AD. This is Winding fill in AD.

I have a font I use in AD (Samantha) on my iPad that I need to “weld” so it will cut out on my laser. When I use Geometry Add it leaves the middle of the letters like L the same color fill, not blank. I’ve tried setting the layer to Alternate vs Winding and it looks fine in AD but when I bring it into my UI for the laser, it has the same problem. It’s got a fill where it shouldn’t. It doesn’t matter whether I convert it to curves first or not. How do get the letters to connect as one unit and get the blank space on the middle of the letters to be correct. I’m baffled as it why it’s not working. On the photo the R isn’t connected so it’s ok. The rest of the letters are connected and you see what happens. Cathe

They are not separate layers. I used an online tool to convert to an svg. Convert to curves doesn’t fix it. That was one of the first thing I tried.

I have an image I converted from a png to svg with an online tool (since I can’t do a trace function in AD). When I open it with AD on my iPad I have duplicate strokes for all of the lines. Since I’m using this on a laser cutter, I only want 1 stroke. I cannot figure out how to delete the duplicate stroke. If I select using the node tool, it always selects both. I’ve had to open it in another tool on my PC to do it. Is there a way to do this work in AD on the iPad?
