JohnnyG91 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Hi Guys, I’ve come to find out that the image I’m engraving onto leather has what I’ve realized is an open vector path thus resulting in this engraving line that’s not part of the original design. Specifically and only the line going through the spade. I’ve attached pictures. Can anyone help me fix this. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NilsFinken Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I have opened your vector file which looks fine. Exported as PDF which also looks perfect...

JohnnyG91 Posted October 2, 2019 Author Share Posted October 2, 2019 I know it looks perfect in both AD and pdf but when I engrave it that happens. That’s what’s so confusing. Someone told me it can be hidden Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchshader Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 there are some strange parts in the file that maybe the cause.

PixelPest Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I doubt these overlapping/crossing lines are causing any troubles as you can adjust and overcome any issues by choosing the right fill rule. Neither AD nor Inkscape show any problems in outline view. Maybe scale the whole graphic laser engrave again and check if the issue persists at the same spot. Hopefully it´s not a hardware problem.

firstdefence Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 Needs quite a bit of work to tidy this up, it looks like a vectorised image to me with malformed nodes, crossed paths etc Quote iMac 27" 2019 Somona 14.3.1, iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...

This can't be by design though, can it, I doubt you'd get a vector artist making all these mistakes and minute glitches, this has to be the result of automation somewhere along the line.

However I can´t determine this horizontal line showing up in the engraved example in the vector file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me neither, there are no "hidden lines" I divided the artwork and nothing popped up as out of whack, I would have expected an off canvas node to produce a narrowing line not a textured fairly even "scratch" if there was something like this it would show.

firstdefence Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 I suppose the next question would be, what engraving software and hardware is being used and what are the results of the vector on import into that software?
