Adobe Live Trace Conversion for Laser Cutting (full version)

This is the full 10 minute version of the basic run through of preparing files for laser cutting by starting with Adobe Illustrator and using Live Trace. This video presents the basic steps, some of the problems, and gives a general starting point. This video is to replace the last one that got cut off early in the upload process.

What was the window you had open to trash all the black shape edges at once? To prevent double lines

importing vector to RDworks and laser is cutting two passes, why?

Hi! Your video really helped me a lot! But one question:
I did the live trace without preparing the image in PS. When the laser cutter do the job, it just doesn't cut the lines smoothly. Like shaking. Why? How can i avoid it?
