Before saving your file, you must keep in mind which vectors you would like to be cut, and which ones you wish to be engraved. Lines that are meant to be cut must be defined at a stroke width of 0.001 inches. Using the Fill and Stroke menu, ensure that the lines wished to be cut are at the correct width and are solid in opacity and black in colour. You’ll notice that these strokes may become difficult to see, so it is recommended to save this step for the very end.
