Some graphic's are cluster-youknowwhats.. One of my customers went to the trouble of buying Corel so instead of supplying me with DXF's with all their goofy issues, he could just send me Corel files, easy-peezy, right?
Check out this screenshot, I have "visumatic" grouped. Counting the hole in the "A", there's 10 objects in that word...
but notice how many objects there REALLY are, circled below...

It actually engraves fine, but don't you dare run a vector pass! The laser will likely carve a hole clear thru the earth back to its creator before it's finished!
243 objects, and this is just 9 characters of TEXT. Some of the graphics get really crazy. And a whole 24" x 24" layout of this stuff takes Corel forever to draw. Auto-backup means go get a cup of coffee, it'll still be working when you get back ;) --And if you get brave and try to single-outline any of this, or- heaven forbid-hit 'smart fill', you might as well kill the program in Task Manager because it WILL just time out and crash...
So Bert, I'm betting you probably got something along these lines going on in that graphic... :)
