Hello, newbie here.  
I’m trying to engrave a drawing i’ve made in Affinity Designer and when I add the SVG to Luban it looks ok (out of scale but that’s not a problem). Anyway, when I hit process, Luban adds a rectangle all over the edge of the image, and then burns it in the wood. I just want it to engrave the vector, and it looks fine beforehand. Can someone help me? I couldn’t find a solution to this.  
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.  
This question has just been asked:

> I’m sure this is the wrong channel for these questions but it’s LUBAN who has shown me my mistakes and I’m wondering if anyone can help me. I used Inkscape to convert a jpg into a SVG. I watched YouTube videos and I followed them to the T. When I import the newly created SVG file into Luban this is what I see in the EDIT screen: First question - It looks good except Luban doesn’t allow me to choose “Process Mode” options such as relief or vector or I give me the…

> When attempting to engrave a simple design on wood, the laser appears to do fine with the design, but then engraves an additional “box” around the border, which does not exist in the image. Being familiar with vinyl cutters, this would have been a setting in the processing of the image that could be turned off. However, I have been unable to find such in the Snapmaker software. (file attached). suggestions appreciated. [Vegvisir]

Oh, I read the first one but didn’t relate to it. I’ll try to work with it then. Hope for the best. Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! Now I know that I should be really careful about artboards and other components of my drawings. It was the artboard that generated the rectangle. Now it’s going perfect!

Again, thanks. Héctor.
