Do you really have to go node by node to join the letters to the curves? I'm thinking there should be an easier way to do this. Otherwise I'm going to be at this all night.

I think it just takes practice. I was very impressed with how much progress you made using Inkscape in such a short amount of time. Inkscape does not have a trim tool like autocad, de, fusion 360, etc. I will show you how to take your file from Inkscape and import to Fusion 360 to use the trim tool. Then save as dxf from Fusion 360. That's not how I did this one, but it is an option for those wishing to avoid node editing for trimming. I will get back to this later this evening.

I tried tracing the design shown in your instructions, but I kept getting little spots on the top left part of the heart. I even set the brightness and contrast to the same numbers as you show. Maybe the screenshot I uploaded was different than the image I downloaded.
I like to use "Path, Cut Path". Depending on the situation, either a line or a box/circle will work. I have better luck just drawing rectangles. You can rotate and size them to get pretty close, and sometimes you get lucky and it will cut both line segments at the same time - like the one in the example below.djreiswig wrote: ↑Sun Aug 14, 2022 8:11 pm Path->Cut Path
Maybe? Haven't tried it yet.
