Hello–
The shape is an imported SVG created in Illustrator. The original imported shape was just the body contour and a soundhole. Oddly, the soundhole has the cut path options (as does anything I manually draw), but the contour, or anything I create using copy/paste does not. This is what I see when highlighting:
Any insight is appreciated.
Cheers!
Looks like the shape is not closed, so it’s treating it as a line. Lines are different—it basically only allows you to make a single pass.
I can’t see if there’s a way to close the path within Easel, but whatever program created the original path should be able to close it for you.
Edit: I found a hack to close the path. Add a shape that you know is inside the one that’s open, it doesn’t matter what it looks like (a box or circle is fine). Then select both of them, right click, and select Combine. This will make a new shape that is now closed.
For some reason, Combine kept favoring the shape I added instead of the guitar shape (so I would end up with just that shape), so I went back into Illustrator and made sure the path was joined, and re-imported into a new workpiece. Odd that it wasn’t joined, as I had extracted it from a PDF.
