How does glowforge and/or SVGs interpret strokes in terms of placement? In Illustrator, you can have the stroke be oriented the the outside, inside or centre of the path. Does Glowforge/SVGs look at the stroke position when processing, or the actual path position?
In practical application, can I just the stroke positioning to help adjust for kerf, or should I always just keep it centered on the path for a more accurate representation?
It doesn’t care about the inside/outside/center designation. To test this, at least in Illustrator, you can swap the inside/center/outside designators while looking at the design in outline mode (control or command-y). Everything is based off of the path.
