Convert SVG strokes to paths for cutting
Many SVGs use strokes to draw lines, but cutting tools need closed paths. If strokes aren’t expanded, cuts can fail or look wrong.
Symptoms
- Lines disappear in the cutter preview
- Cuts look thinner or offset
- Some elements are skipped entirely
Root causes
- Strokes left as strokes instead of paths
- Mixed stroke widths and scaling
How Lumekon fixes it
- Normalizes geometry into real paths
- Builds a clean cut outline from visible shapes
- Exports layered paths ready for cutting
Best input tips
- Expand strokes before export when possible
- Avoid variable stroke widths for cut files
- Use closed shapes for consistent outlines
FAQ
Do cutters ignore strokes?
Many cutters treat strokes inconsistently. Paths are safer for production.
Can Lumekon handle stroke-based SVGs?
Yes, Lumekon normalizes geometry into cut-ready paths.
Should I outline strokes first?
It helps, but Lumekon still validates and outputs clean cut files.
