    Yes I use simplify and reorder on every picture. In its defense I am drawing 1500mm wide so its pretty large. If you say do a text on it depending on the font it draws the entire letter pen lifts moves to next letter draws it out kind of like you would if you were handwriting it. Or maybe this is better example if you do a spirograph pen stays down and starts drawing its circles. But on an image I guess stimple is the correct term. For example if your drawing say Mikey Mouse it doesnt draw the 2 ears and then come back and color them in. Instead it will just draw eveerything with tiny dots or short slashes even on crosshatch or multipass. I dont know I figured since it was G code it would be more like a 3D printer routine does the perimeter then comes back through with the infill by the time it gets done with the dots its pretty rough to tell what the picture is supposed to be. Im not trying to recreate the Mona Lisa but maybe Warhols soup cans no fine details. Not sure if there is a way to attach photo on here but I could send you some to see what im doing wrong
