Convert fill to stroke
Released in PitStop 24.03 on March 25, 2024

A typical pain point in cutting is when the cut lines are converted into a shape and are no longer usable as cut lines in production. PitStop's new, patent-pending, "Fill to Stroke" feature solves this challenge, by reverting the incorrectly converted shape to its original cut path.
Simplify path

PDF renderers, RIP engines and cutting devices often struggle with line art objects that consist of a large number of nodes. Thanks to the new 'Simplify line art' Action in PitStop 24.03 you can reduce the number of nodes without changing the visual appearance of the path.
