Acrylic cutting twice even if 1 pass?

Hi,

I am trying to understand why the Glowforge cuts twice my acrylic even if the setting proofgrade says only 1 pass ?
Does it have to do with the file import ?

All of the inner segments and the outer circle of your design has overlapping paths. You need to delete the duplicates.

With the file open, ungroup the objects, then click on each of the inner ones and delete one at a time. Then on the outer circle.

I moved them and changed the stroke to red here to illustrate:

Wow thanks for the quick reply… I am a newbie here and I use inkscape but since this is someone else design I have no idea on how to remove the paths ? Do you know of a link to help with that ?
