I am having trouble laying this out so that the black areas raster down to .33 in the black areas.... aspire keeps trying to link other lines. how can i get this to lay out correct.

Sometimes with vectors that touch or overlap by tiny amounts, you have to toolpath in stages…

Gene…
You can choose the color of individual toolpaths or set them globally to the same thing.
Sometimes if I want to change the color of an area that’s not being cut, I’ll pocket a few thousandths and set it to a specific color.

Gene…
The link in my first response lets you down load the cleaned-up file… your file had about 7 million nodes, I cleaned it up to only be straight lines.
