If you need to reposition a path as you're drawing it, press and hold the spacebar on your keyboard, drag with your mouse to move the path into position, and then release your spacebar and continue drawing. I'll continue dragging outward from the center until the path is large enough to surround the ball. Holding the Shift key down as I drag with the Ellipse Tool forces the shape of the path into a perfect circle, while the Alt (Win) / Option (Mac) key lets me draw the path outward from the spot where I clicked. Then, I'll press and hold Shift+Alt (Win) / Shift+Option (Mac) on my keyboard and begin dragging outward from the center. To draw the path, I'll click and hold my mouse button down in the center of the golf ball.

Remove the fill and add strokes (any color)
I found a very tedious workaround in Inkscape, but it is annoying and in fact altering the geometry as it is basically doing 2 outlines (inner and outer) around the existing combined path: Funny thing: when using the built-in rectangle option in Inkscape / Corel, this is interpreted by Trotec software as a single vector - so it must be possible somehow? Looking closer at the properties of my cut in the Trotec software (Job Control), it shows "12 vectors", even though in Corel / Inkscape it is just a combined path for the outer contour and one for the inner.
When cutting, it is not doing the second pass of the whole geometry, but it is doing the second pass of each individual line (even though in Inkscape / Corel it is showing up as a COMBINED path). For this I need to create a combined path that is also interpreted by Trotec laser software as a single vector (this is the problem).Ĭombine lines that form the outer / inner geometry. I want the laser to do a complete set of cuts (outer + inner) and then do a second pass. I have an outer contour and some inner geometry. DXF to Inkscape / Corel, then cut on a Trotec laser with multiple passes.
Maybe someone here has come across a similar issue and has a suggestion.
