In my experience for the correct fitting of all layers you need to import not only the layer itself but also a common boundary box for all layers. It helps you to improve the working time and accuracy of your product.
Hi, thanks for the tutorial. I work with QGIS a lot so I really like this workflow as compared to Snazzy Maps which a lot of other laser cut map makers suggest. I was wondering if there is any harm in using Search OSM to get the waterbodies too? I ran the query got thousands of waterbodies in canvas extent, saved the layer and then selected only Lake Geneva (since others are small and would create problems for cutting). I did not change the symbology that it came with and exported all the 5 layers to PDF. Is this approach fine?
Thanks! Unfortunately, we have not yet managed to extract only the water area or, respectively, only the land area from QGIS. I would be glad if someone could help.
The select line in Ai really helped me. Thank you!

Good job!
