Hi there,

We have recently invested in a fibre laser to engrave stainless steel items. We currently have found (through trial and error) that importing vectors in Adobe Illustrator 3 format is the most efficient way to get our desired designs into EZ Cad. However, particularly when engraving on the rotary, random lines are engraved across the vectors with no obvious source for them in the artwork file. I have attached an example image below.

One point of note is that with each time you engrave the vector, the lines are consistent. However, if you delete the vector and reimport the same file, the lines will change. We're thinking that that this must be due to some miscommunication of encoded data in the anchor points of the vectors but we are relatively new to this so our experience is limited.

Is there a better format for importing complex vectors into EZ Cad 2 than AI 3?
Or are we missing something in the settings or set up process that couple be causing this inconsistency?
