I just bought EngraveLab 9 and my support time ran out and I have a lot of questions on the commands.
I am trying to line fill a letter so I can engrave it out.
I first place a letter on my layout.
Then go to Engrave and create tool path, Fill and then pick a cutter size. I pick a color, say yellow. Then set the fill style to Sweep tool down. I set the fill to 30%,then hit OK.

The fill shows on the screen, but when I send it to the engraver, it says No object to engrave.

Can anyone help.

Thanks Kevin

If its the same as 7 you have to select the toolpath after it was created, I normally zoom out and grab everything then hit engrave as it will only engrave the toolpath anyway.
I have been looking at upgrading to version 9, i would be keen to know how you go with it

Not sure what you mean by toolpath. I followed the directions I saw on u tube but it didn't work. I'll let you know if I figure it out.
Thanks

After you type the text go to the arrange menu and click on "text to graphics" then go to the engrave menu and select "create tool path > fill". Key in your fill parameters and you should be ready to go.
