So the solution is simple: stop after “Trace Bitmap…” and save as svg. Which was obviously too much and wouldn’t have worked anyway. What I didn’t know was, that these outlines were not really 1 dimensional lines, these lines were actually 2 dimensional, they had a width, and because of that LaswerWeb web tried to create a path which goes around these lines, kind of like the outlines of the outlines. This gave me something that looked like what I wanted, just the outlines of the shapes. ![]() So I did another step in Inkscape, “Stroke to Path”. I should have stopped at this point and just saved it as a svg, but it still looked like the original bitmap, with all the black areas and I was afraid if i load it like that into LaserWeb, it will fill these shapes with black, but I only wanted it to cut the outlines. I started with a bitmap and used “Trace Bitmap…” in Inkscape to convert it to vectors. ![]() The problem was not (or not only) the size of the file, but my misunderstanding of how Inkscape creates paths.
