Hello every one Iv run in to a wall here. I’m tracing my tools to make a foam inserts for my tool boxes. Some of my tools span longer than one art board in illustrator so when I save as or export as a SVG I check the use artboards box so it splits the tracings of my tools. Upon viewing the SVG files they seem to do what I want but when it is uploaded to glowforge the whole tracing is there not the split up one you can see this in the files I uploaded the long rectangle is for a level. Its split up on the artboards and in the SVG files but not when it gets uploaded in the glowforge UI.
i wasn’t sure it would work, but it was worth a try.
honestly, since they’re all cut lines, you’ll probably have to split them up manually. it looks like it’s only the one piece that runs across artboards, so i would create the three separate objects that cut off the edge of the foam.
Unfortunately, artboards aren’t actual geometry in AI so they don’t cut anything except as a visual effect. The tools you’re looking for are Pathfinder and Shapebuilder.
