Can I open RDWorks project files?

[Rick (Technical Evangelist)]

You can’t open an RLD format (as in, an RDWorks project file), but you can save as an RD format and it will open in LightBurn. It will not contain any settings info, just the design.

@LightBurn

LightBurn was developed completely independently from RDWorks, by reverse engineering the control protocols and cut file data sent to the controller.

It’s possible to do the same reverse engineering to get at the data in the RLD project files, but they’re less structured, and even Ruida themselves seem to break compatibility with them with every other version they release. I’ve done some initial work toward this, but it’s very difficult work, and low priority.
