Complex Hatch Fills
Some graphics have portions that do not need to be engraved and are within the boundaries of outside
vector outlines. Using the Flower example file, import the file to vectorize the bitmap, then select the
Break Path icon to separate the individual outlines.
Next, we will need to create a path. The Vision Express software has an intelligent path tool that will
automatically detect portions of the graphic that are within outside vector lines and will create a hatch fill
with the center portions left as unfilled. Press the F3 button on the computer keyboard to select all
items, then select the Make Path icon.
