Why this matters
Use node editing / close-path tools and Preview to confirm the shape really encloses an area.
How to think about it
Define the result you actually need, then confirm the active machine profile, units and operating mode before changing parameters.
Practical workflow
- Define the result you actually need, then confirm the active machine profile, units and operating mode before changing parameters.
- Change one meaningful variable at a time and use Preview/Frame or offline analysis before running a real job.
- If the issue repeats, keep evidence: Console output, a G-code sample, the exact settings used and material context. Evidence makes troubleshooting reproducible.
If the result is wrong
Use node editing / close-path tools and Preview to confirm the shape really encloses an area.
Common mistakes
- Changing several settings at once and then not knowing which change affected the result.
