They were definitely paths…
Ah ok, digging in - if I change it to a path and go immediately to the offset, it failed. If I deselect, and re-select, it works fine. BUT - in both cases when I tried to record exactly what it just did so I could post a video, it worked fine. Rectangle object > convert to path > offset engrave.
I swear, I’m not nuts. It really did fail before! Weird.
Edit 1
Might be that I’m running into that total number of lines limit. I did a .75" wide piece at 300lpi and got the “No paths” error - but that exact same shape at 100lpi and it worked.
Edit 2
Also, I see what you mean about actually crossed lines, but having to rotate a few handles is a small price to pay for everything else being automated!
