SVG troubles

[trisholsonlmt]

Why is the laser cutting my SVG / design twice? Once for the original cut then again right over top again… So confused, new to this. Please be nice lol

Did you have a copy and paste with one on top of the other? Or how many passes is your GFUI set to run?

Very often this is the result of an autotraced image. If you want to zip and upload your SVG, someone here will figure it out pretty quick.

If something goes twice there are likely two of them!

There is a discussion on what happens with certain types of Auto-Trace images here:

Avoiding Double Cut Lines In Your Designs

Avoiding Double Cut Lines in your Designs.pdf (525.8 KB) Note for Adobe Illustrator users: Watch that you always place the stroke in the center of the path (not either inside or outside the path) because the newer versions of Illustrator automatically Expand those when you create your SVG file. (The older versions didn’t.) Just check the Stroke style, and make sure it is centered on the path.

Thanks for all the help!! I actually figured it out before anyone had time to respond. The outline was doubled somehow when I was creating the file.

All good now! Turned out adorable. LOL
