I’ve just tried my first Inkscape SVG with more than 3 layers (20 in this case) but they come into the Glowforge as only 2 layers. I’ve been using 3 layers so I know that possible…is there some limitation on the number of layers or how they have to be differentiated?
I usually export one layer at the time. Unless you’re using layers for composition purposes, I.e., I’ll have one layer for the outline (which I then ignore), and other layers with different designs using the same outline. I then “turn on” (eye open) the outline layer and the layer I want to use for this project. Then export as a plain svg.
Thank you! This makes sense (at least as far as what I am seeing). I was able to assign 20 different colors and Glowflorge loads them as 20 different layers (with a “design has a lot steps” warning"). Given that I need to do engrave ~60 different 1cm buttons, the Glowforge interface is already slow enough with having to save 60 different files!
