700mm x 500mm Limits

[Blanca_Bareno1 (Richard Bareno)]

I have A 700mm x 500mm laser engraver I find myself having to use both RD Works & The Lightburn software. My problems are as follows: I can cut or engrave to the edge of my machine using the RD Works software. the same does not apply using Lightburn. I created the file in Lightburn, tried to export in Lightburn, couldn`t do it. that is my second issue, if anyone out there can help, I can sure use it.

the same does not apply using Lightburn.

I would check this in ‘Device Settings’ to ensure it is set correctly.

This is a guess as you have not provide much detail here. Have a read below. Could this be the issue you are seeing? If so, this is a known and fixed issue for the next release.

Can not export any file types

I can not export any type of file, ai, svg, dxf. any type that I try to export looks like it saves it, but I can not find the files any where. on win 10,and newest lightburn version. HELP PLEASE

You can likely cut to the edge of the machine in RDWorks or LightBurn, but you won’t be able to engrave to the sides with either of them without triggering a “not enough extend space” error. This is because the head overshoots the design a little when engraving (the amount depends on the speed and acceleration settings).
