    Welcome to the forum!

    When you say it gave you a "1 line circle", what's the difference between that and a "whole circle"?  Which Inkscape extension did you use?  Extensions menu > Gcodetools > Engraving?  Or was it a 3rd party extension that you had to install?

    Use the 'Area' extension from the GCode tools. That one is meant to create carved out areas.
