I have imported plans for a multi level shadow box from a magazine. The drawings came in as a .zip .PDF there are 18 layers to this project.
I converted the first level from PDF to vectors by importing the bit map, then Traced the Bitmap, I am relatively new to this process but I have done it a couple of times before. When I validate my vectors I am getting 307 overlaps and 693 intersections.
What now? Do i just overdraw each level? Is there an easier way?
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Re: Multi level shadow box
Pictures would help or screenshots, you say the file is a PDF, well that format supports both vector & bitmap data so you may already have vectors within the zipped download. Different ways of dealing with overlaps & intersections depending on what you want to do & the toolpath strategy you are using which is where pictures/screenshots may help.
If it's possible to post the file that may help but if it is copyright then you won't be able to do that which is where again pictures help
