Judy K Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 I'm new to Designer having come from using Illustrator. I'm using Designer to produce drawings to be cut using a laser cutter. In order to cut the line width has to be .001 inches. I produced a drawing consisting of a number of curves and lines joined into one path. Then I drew another straight line and noticed that the path that says it has a stroke with of .001" is visibly wider than the straight line which also says it has a stroke width of .001". I had trouble during my last laser cutter session with some of my lines cutting and some not cutting even though they all claimed to be .001" thick. What am I doing wrong?

JimmyJack Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Well, neither stroke is actually selected in that image. But..... If the description is true, I'm going to guess that you have the stroke width field set to show three decimal places, and the thicker line is in between .001 and .0015. (You probably scaled the curved line a little bit with "scale with object" clicked in the stroke panel) Increase your decimal points in preferences to see. Both of these show as .001" when selected.

Judy K Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 Yes! One of the lines was actually 0.0013 inches. Thank you JimmyJack 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
