I’m importing DXF files to latest version of Lightburn (9.19) and the size of the drawing is incorrect. I’ve read all the topics I could find about the same issue to no avail. It seems that in most cases the problem is fixed by changing units. I’ve tried fixing the problem by experimenting to change to every unit in the “DXF Import Settings” but it never worked.
I use mm in Autocad and mm in the import settings of Lightburn.
The scale difference is an exotic 379% variance. The drawing is smaller on Lightburn than in Autocad.
DXF often do not store the unit of measurement they were created in. If you model a file in inches, but import it as mm, it will be 25.4x too small. If you import it as cm, it would be 2.54 times too small, and so on. If the file doesn’t specify it, then you have to manually set the units to interpret the file in, before you import.
I have the same problem, but from Fusion360 and also from Vectric VCarve Desktop. When I export from Vacarve to DXF or SVG and import it to Lightburn it is a facto 1000 which it is bigger. I have stopped exporting to DXF and SVG and use AI instead, that works. It started with the last update of Lightburn.
Sorry for the late reply, had a holiday here. For some reason it’s working fine now and I didn’t change any settings. I don’t get it so I’ll keep working until I find where the problem is.
