Time to get recording again 😁😁

Really liking the software. Can you tell my why all the sudden svg's are getting the traversals are powered on? Did a couple test engravings and they went fine but then the last couple svg's I imported started getting cuts where the traversal lines are. Very odd. I closed the program and deleted my preferences file and then started the program again so it was back to default but still cutting the traversal lines. I hope that makes sense. I couldn't find anything in your docs or faq.

hmmm, I would have to wonder, take an image and place it horizontally, greyscale dither it. Now take that same image and rotate it 90 degrees, move the once burned image in machine and rotate it 90 degrees also, match them up in alignment, would burning it that way create a better image due to the power dithered cross hatching? /EDIT oh, the software can do that, sort of with the scan angles... interesting. Will have to try both and see the difference, if any.
