I used most of this from Google SVGs, and some library stuff to create this sign.
But some of the heart cut outs are in pink or something and they’re not allowing a pocket, i want the thing to cut out just like it looks, but i can’t tell how to make all the areas pocket correctly.
Any help is appreciated!!

You will need to duplicate the geometry which is wanted to allow the open geometry to describe a closed region:
Then the duplicates can be used w/ Trim Vectors and additional drawn-in geometry:
allowing one to select the geometry which defines a given region and use Join Vectors:
Yes
to close things
Continue doing this until all regions which you wish to work with are closed.
Note however that if there is overlapping geometry it will be necessary to select specific elements to assign toolpaths — probably you will want to put each set of geometry for each toolpath on a separate layer.
Fundamentally, you want the design to have outlines which describe a single set of closed regions.
So the crossbars of the As:
should be unioned:
and there the 4 crosses itself:
has to be corrected:
For the egg, it will need to be inset so that the regions which are in contact with its perimeter may be resolved:
For the small hearts at the bottom it will be necessary to duplicate and offset them to the outside:
and then punch them out of the larger shapes which they overlap:
The same will need to be done for the small hearts at the top:
For the interlocking hearts, that requires Carbide Create Pro:
so we will instead just move one to the fore and remove the balance:
Eventually one arrives at:
hwhich may be joined into a composite path:
which should then cut as expected:

Thank you, i have to look at this, but thank you for the file too!!
