svg import problem

Post by dkipp »

Might be a simple question, but.

I'm using sure cuts 3 and whenever I import an svg from Illustrator it will almost always cut the image twice (on top of another). I can use trace image in sure cuts a lot and it's fine, but any time I import an svg it's doing it twice, it's driving me nuts. I've been using the pen tool to try and trouble shoot.

I like importing an svg because I like to tweek the image in Illustrator. I've attached two pictures and they might me hard to tell, but you can notice the svg import (top) is much darker since it did two passes.

Are you using both a stroke and a fill? A quirk of AI is that it creates separate Paths for Stroke and Fill when saving as svg. Try using one or the other. HTH
