I’d like to use a fill pattern to engrave fonts with my laser machine. Everything works fine, but my machine requires the fill pattern to be converted into a simple path. So far, I haven’t found any way to do this directly. The only workaround I use at the moment is exporting at a very high resolution, re-importing the file, and then converting the image to a path.
This process is slow and requires a lot of extra work.

Hi there,
I’d like to use a fill pattern to engrave fonts with my laser machine. Everything works fine, but my machine requires the fill pattern to be converted into a simple path.

Does anyone know a better solution?

Thank you for your answer.
I already know the extension, and the extension is good. But fill patterns are much easier to apply and there is a larger selection.
For this reason, I would like to convert the fill pattern. I am now looking for a more elegant way than exporting and reimporting.
Does anyone know a quick way?
