What about when engraving? I layered a circle 3 times to make sure it is engraved deeply. When i want to change size etc. And it is in attached it still makes me do the changes separately. Would flatten work better? Thanks.

hi I brought a circuit and to me its very difficult to use......I really want to learn how to use it I'm getting very frustrated with it.

[@divyapathak2089]

Ok, so you need to explain a function without using the same words. Just saying "Attach attaches things" and "Flatten flattens things" and clicking on buttons that are labelled "Attach" and "Flatten" doesn't do it. No one gets it. So if I flatten, will it print the insides and not cut the insides? Because the issue I am having right now is, when I attach two layers, one with "Happy Birthday" and another layer with the card outline, the happy birthday is being printed, but ALSO cut. And then it's also cutting the card outline. So is the issue here that attach is being used instead of flatten because flatten will only do the outline and not cut insides? Your video didn't explain this. Also, your video doesn't show the output on a machine...

I agree. Not explained in any useful way.

What does it mean when you can't choose between flatten or attach because it's grayed out?

[@j.wyrick9271]

WHY when I add text the flatten option is greyed out and my text is outlined/

[@eveo.6802]

I did not understand neither!😔
