I don't know that program, but is it possible that the order of selection matters? And if so, the direction of sweep might affect the order. The order might depend on what is swept over first, or maybe what was swept over last (meaning that maybe if you stop the sweep when reaching the center of the "O" you get a different result from sweeping past the center and back onto the main part).
Just a wild guess. I really don't know.

Bill, thanks for the offer... I'm unable to get at the computer with Engravelab for a few days.
However, the issue with this is select the objects by SWEEP (hold down the left mouse button and draw a square around the objects to select)or when I cut and paste from Corel Draw... it just doesn't want to fill the paths properly.

Ok... lets try this... I just drew two circles one inside of the other.. I used the left mouse to select both items... then up to (cut) and in the fly out box is a choice to create a tool path.. if your using a diamond or a cutter instead of a lazer then this is the way to do it.. you will have to pick a cutter style to let it fill the path the way you want... if your using a laser it would be easier to call me.. hope this helps..EDITED: 3 Oct 2006 by ALBILLBERT2000

Varn,
The answer is in this particular case the "o" is just 2 circles and not an actual font. Most likely an imported file or a trace. In any case, you have found the answer, connecting the path is the right way to go.
