I’ve read a few threads on this, but they still don’t make sense to me.
I have a file I’m trying to split for an oversized project. When I do the cut objects function, the filled objects become open paths. I would have thought they would close automatically, but apparently not.
Is there a fix, other than going node by node and drawing manual lines to close them up? Due to the intricacy of the vector, I’ll be here a long time. Unfortunately, I’m up against the clock to get this done.
Help!

      I think in spite of LightBurn showing the design shapes as filled, they are in fact open.
You can check for this by going to Edit->Select open shapes. That will show you all the open shapes.
This is easily remedied in this case by:
1. Select entire design
2. Edit->Close path
Then retry the Cut Shapes operation.
