Sandman88 Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Hi All, New to Designer and still getting use to the software and features. I am having some trouble with exporting a project to EPS format for production on a laser cutter. I have masked a texture with a region so that the texture lines only appear within the region bounds (accomplished by making the texture a sub-layer of the region). The exported EPS file looks fine but when it is loaded into the laser cutter the texture's hidden lines (outside of the region's boundary) appear. The EPS does not 'flatten' the layers and remove the hidden lines (issue is similar to the one explained here: http://www.inkscapeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=31&t=13723, they just have pretty pictures). I have attached the original EPS file and a snapshot of what the laser cutter sees. Is there an easy way to remove these hidden lines from the EPS file? Thanks in advance for the help, Sean Test Cut.eps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted August 28, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 28, 2015 Hi Sandman88, Have you tried exporting to any other format, SVG for example? Which program are you then importing the file into to use with your laser cutter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman88 Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hi Lee D, I have tried other formats and nothing seems to work. Is there are way with Design to "cut" the lines with my overlaid geometry instead of just masking them? Thanks Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
