I’m trying to figure out how to make some quality puzzles.
As weeding 200 pieces can both be extra effort and also potentially damage the artwork, I’m trying to cut all of the horizontal lines first, then de-masking, followed by a vertical line pass. My first attempt was a fail - I was forced to reboot the GF and also re-load the artwork and had to align my second pass by eye which didn’t give a good result.
Questions for those in the know:
-
Is there a “correct” way to open the lid without aborting the job?
-
How can I delete a step? Usually, I can select a stroke in the group and hit delete, but for whatever reason, this puzzle SVG does not allow it. I’m surprised that you can’t delete the cutter settings to skip the step (e.g., 0 passes for example). I don’t want to re-cut the horizontal lines in the second pass and don’t want to reload or reposition the artwork.
-
Is there any way to get exact X/Y positioning of a piece of artwork (and ideally any transforms like rotate and scale)? When I had to reposition it, this would have been nice to have.
-
Any clues as to why I got these errors? I have 2 groups, setup one to cut, did the cut. when job finished opened the lid and weeded. Closed the lid, scanned, centered, etc… and then gave me these errors (not much help).
Also attaching the SVG in the event that is helpful for anyone. Any thoughts appreciated!
