bug in carving algo

[sebmay]

Hello,

I vcarve some board, including QR code.

Look at the attachment : the QR code on the left is just a mirrored copy of the right one.

I need to mirror: i engrave on the back of a plexiglas.

The left reversed one is scrambled when calculating the vcarve path.

It's just luck that the other one worked ok. You can't have overlapping or touching vectors in a VCarve toolpath or you will get unexpected results.

You will need to edit the image to remove the overlaps etc.

It seems to be quite a rough image, did you generate it by tracing? There are a few QR generators on the internet that will generate SVG files that can be imported directly into VCarve and are a lot cleaner.

Thanks for the hint, i will look for SVG generator
