I created the image with an AI
for this I used the text
create a simple picture with spring flowers which is suitable for the lasercut

Then I imported the image into XCS
Selected the image and selected trace image
Adjust a little the settings to become your result



Click on the image and ungroup the picture

in this case i would like to have the same leave as the one below
we click on the image and then select node



select all nodes and then delete them


select the node that create this edge and delete it



copy the leave you want and reflect horizontally


you want this unsightly corner to disappear
select the picture and click on node



double click on the node to become the node type call “perfect symmetry”
but now such a corner has been created
we simply solve this by deleting the following node



on the other side is also an edge but now we use another technique to remove it
click on the line before and after the node that creates the corner to add another node
then remove the node that creates the corner
