Hello Every(laser)body:)

I try engraving a few times and everything was ok.
But now, I don't understand what am I doing wrong.

I imported simple drawing with hairlines from CorelDraw2021 like this:
export to .ai
import to RDworks, ok?


Yesterday when I import first time that file everything was ok.
But I need to change one letter in Corel and from that time (its bad that I deleted the first export file)

I don't know whats wrong, how to set up to engraving only outlines.
For example I have now in RDW only one layer for engraving
but part engraving outlines and second part engraving the whole area.

I thing something in corel I changed but I have no idea what?



-------------------------------
I export from corel to .ai
because when I export to .dxf
it always made my drawing very smaller when importing into RDWorks

in RDWORKS it sounds like your layer is set to cut vice scan

Please
is there any way I can recognize or verify this idea?

- in this layer)

your "scan" "output" is set to "NO" - that means it wont process that layer - if you want that layer to scan it must be set to yes
