Have you also tried CopperCam (http://www.galaad.net/coppercam-eng.html)?
CopperCam can do both contour tracing (with a settable width of free
space around the edges) and do a full area hatch.
You can hatch using the same engraving cutter used to trace the contours
but you can also specify any other tool you have.
It is absolutely no shame to pay for software ;-) and with 80 EUR (ex.
VAT) it is definitely worth the price.
I have played around with the demo version for a few days and am quite
impressed with the output - for me this is a must have.
