Export to SVG moving shapes around

[GJM (Gary Morgen)]

I have the following design in Lightburn…

I export it to SVG
Open the SVG in InkScape and I see:

Notice how the shapes have shifted around. Why is this happening?
Here is the lbn file
Simba Gift.lbrn (261.2 KB)
I can’t upload the SVG (not a supported filetype). But if you export the shape layer (lines) and then open it in InkScape, you should see the same results.

I just exported out of lightburn and opened in Adobe Illustrator 2020 and it shows as intended, so I guess your question could be directed to the inkscape community/developers as to why they don’t import a valid svg properly, unless there’s some setting in inkscape which is ary.

[Malcolm (Malcolm Hancock)]

sorry, I did it as an AI export, if I export svg and import to Illustrator it screws up like yours

[GJM (Gary Morgen)]

SO it remains that there is something wrong in the creation of the SVG…yes?

I do not have this problem with all SVGs, by the way. I suspect there’s something about this file.

I think the image is causing the problem, if you take the bitmap out of the group and export just the lines then it seems to work fine in Adobe illustrator and inkscape

[LightBurn (Oz)]

The image should just be ignored. I’ll have a look to see if there’s something up in how we’re building the SVG. I suspect that your triangle and hex are both “Polygon” shapes in LightBurn, and they might not be exporting correctly for some reason.

Which version of LightBurn are you running? I seem to recall fixing something like this not long ago.

[LightBurn (Oz)]

It looks like it’s the group transforms not being correctly respected - if I ungroup it all, it works.

Edit: I’ve figured out why, so this will be fixed for the next release. If you convert the shapes to paths, OR ungroup them, it will behave properly in the version you have now.

Thanks! You’re the best!

Saw the question after you had resolved it…but I’m on 0.9.16
