Trying to create etching mask to laser print. The only way I can get the background to print solid black is to haycj a rectangle, but i can’t figure out how to cut the print out. I tried creating planar rectangular surface then explode and create surface of text and boolean subtract. but i can’t get background surface to print solid black.

Hi Verkaylak -

I’m afraid I don’t know what that means. Could you post a 3dm file that illustrates what you are trying to do?
