You’ll have to give some more details on what exactly you are trying to do. What the settings are that you are trying etc. Otherwise it’s just a lot of guessing.

(hello from another Belgian BTW 😊)

Hallo

Leuk een Belg te horen op snapmaker, niets in Nederlands te vinden voor snapmaker

Ik wil deze tekening met lazer maken maar in Previeuw heeft hij de lijnen van plan niet aan, moet met instellingen te maken hebben ?

Met vriendelijke groeten  
Claes Erik

“I want to make this drawing with lazer but in Preview it doesn’t show the lines of plan, must have to do with settings?”

It’s probably more to do with the type of file you are using. Is it an .SVG?

I have the impression the lines are too thin for a jpg file. If you want crisp lines svg is the way to go.

With another image format (jpg, png etc) you will never have the actual lines being cut out but some kind of interpolation.

With a program like Inkscape it is possible to convert the jpg to an svg. There are some posts on the forum on how to do that. If you Google jpg to svg Inkscape you will find a lot of tutorials on how to do so. Like this one [Converting JPG to SVG (in InkScape) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/9S65kxul7-M)
