Hello,
I hope someone can help. I use CorelDraw for setting up my CAD files for my laser cutter.
I would like to 'fill' some closed objects for laser engraving, but no matter what I do, I cannot seem to fill the required parts.
I think I have uploaded the file with this post, if I have, could someone please look and tell me if it is possible? The parts I want filled are coloured black. It is driving me made not being able to do this!
Thank you,
Chris
Just a thought. Inkscape has an extension called inkscape-chain-paths. It can take what you would think should be a closed path but is really a bunch of discombobulated line segments, and make a closed path in one go. Love Draw, but like to explorer time to time.

Thanks for sharing, David.
Looking at the description of that extension, what it's intended to do sounds very similar to what I would do in CorelDRAW with any of these:
Each of those can, in a single operation, combine curves and join nodes.
If one wishes to deal with "gaps" in particular ways, then I think the Join Curves docker might be the best from the standpoint of being able to specify the method by which those are to be resolved.
