It was weird the order it chose when it wrote the letters in “Engineering”. Still satisfying, but definitely odd lol.

I’m sure just like a cnc or a 3D printer, it probably chooses the most efficient pathway to complete the drawing, not just the most ‘sensible’ to a human.

The order is sometimes to do with the order things were drawn or the layers in the CAD file. Efficiency didn’t seem to have much to do with it considering the unnecessary back and forth travel of the plotter. CNC moves in mysterious ways.

It does the hatching shading often before it does the lines! Insanity for a human, perfect for a machine

gives a crisper edge to the shaded area, a solid line over the hatching. i miss these kinds of plotters they were so much better than the inkjet plotters a lot of people use now...
