    I will be REALLY happy if there is someone who can tell me how I can fix this. I will upload a photo to be more understandable. I am using inkscape for making vector images. So far so good. But when I upload the image in my software for the laser-the lines are different compare to the file in Inkscape. I saw there are a lot of vector images like this, and this is kind a normal… but I would like to fill them up. I have no idea can you understand what I mean. I want the image’s lines to be fill with color . THANK you very much if somebody help me!!! I am really new for these vector and laser things but really want to learn. Sorry for my English!

    It appears that the image is a collection of "un-filled" vectors, which is common. Based on your description, you have the correct settings in Inkscape, but your software settings should be changed to match. I'm not familiar with the program you use, as I have LightBurn for my laser. In LightBurn, there is a Line setting and  Fill setting for any given layer. Perhaps you can locate the setting necessary to fill the closed shapes.
