I made up a box with Box it. When I went to cut it out my laser cut each finger joint side as an individual line. I tried combine, group. I wanted to laser to cut the box piece as one continuous line. I am using CorelDraw X6 and lasercut 5.3.

All help will be greatly appreciated.

I'm using CorelDraw X5. I don't know if it's any different in X6, but here is what I do in X5:

Select the object, select "Ungroup All", then "Break Apart". Go to the Arrange Menu and select Join Curves. A docking box on the right of the corner will open. There will be several options. Select all parts of your object then click "Join". Your object should have become a closed space by now. Try to color fill it. If it fully fills with color, not just the outlines, it means that it has been successfully joined.

I would use the "smart fill" and flood fill the area contained by the lines. Drag the filled object away and use it instead of the original drawing.
