Its giving me separate task options(engrave, cut, score) but I am unable to move each piece around the board. Any ideas? Im sure it’s something simple but am missing it.
So I uploaded just the words from another file and was able to get it in there.
But is there a way to avoid that?
Was it because it was in a circle?

The GFUI ignores layers in illustrator. It sees enclosed overlapping shapes and assumes they are a group. Move one of the elements over to the side in Illustrator and save a new pdf.

Even without layers, any objects enclosed in a shape are “grouped” as far as moving them goes by default in the GFUI.
I use Inkscape and it’s the same.
It’s handy if you want all design elements in something like a keychain to stay aligned when you move things around. That’s probably the logic behind the behavior.

Thanks for the answer @jbv! It looks like that resolved this issue, so I’m going to close this thread - if you run into any other trouble, go ahead and post a new topic.
