Sorry still learning! I seem to have to find a solution every time I use the machine! ANYWAY my son would like to cut out and engrave this drawing. Cut out the red line and engrave the black. What kind of conversion do I need to do to make this work?
Which software program are you using?
inkscape
Hopefully someone who uses Inkscape will see your post and be able to help you.
The drawing is a good candidate for the Trace Tool in the Glowforge interface. There’s a tutorial here on how to use it:
You might want to darken the lines everywhere (the red ones) and just engrave those too. The cut line will be placed just outside of them when you click according to the instructions in the tutorial.
