I feel like a real newbie, (I am BTW) but here we go.

I'm using Lasercut and want to engrave a circle or any shape for that matter with no fill.
I've tried a circle with a .5m line no fill, but it always engraves the whole thing filled.
I've tried filling with white but no luck. I'm usung the Corel X4 plugin, and even tried importing DXF and PLT files right into Lasercut.

It's pretty frustrating at the moment that why I came here for some insight, what am I doing or not doing.

Thanks for your help,
Jerry

You might try drawing a hairline circle, then contouring it.

EFFECTS > CONTOUR (CTRL+F9)

Thanks I'll give that a try,

the ultimate outcome is to have a star which is filled inside that empty circle.

That did the trick, thank you very much.
