Raster engraving a circle?

[Dubliner]

Im trying to raster engrave a circle but I only want to engrave the line, not fill in the circle. I'm using Corel x5 and Lasercut 5.3
I rastered 2 intersecting squares and it cut into the inside of the squares, but where they intersected it left it alone, so you could tell what they were, but is it possible to raster the line and leave the open area clear? TIA Neville

There's a couple of ways to do it. You could draw the circle, make the line wider if you need to, then convert it to a bitmap and engrave.

Or you could draw the circle then draw another circle inside the first giving you two lines. Select them both and engrave.

Use the simulate feature in LaserCut to see if it's going to come out like you want it to.

Hope that helps.

You know I wondered about doing an offset and trying that. I was wondering if it would select the inner circle and engrave the whole thing, but my experiment with the adjoining squares made me think the offset way might work. Thanks for that. I'll try the wider line width also.
