Most laser cutters will use coloring to differentiate between cuts &amp; control cut ordering. Our DXF files use black as engravings, red &amp; green as cuts (so that interior cuts can happen before the whole piece gets cut out). </p> http://diylilcnc.org/forum/topic/color-coding#post-39 Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:29:46 +0000 Bill 39@http://diylilcnc.org/forum/ <p>Looking over the plans, I notice that some of the cut-outs are colored red and some are green. Is the intent to use color mapping to adjust the laser settings when cutting? </p>
