I use lightburn to export DXF files to my silhouette cutter. Since the update to 1.3.01 the files are very wonky even basic shapes when I open in Silhouette. I think it is because of the update. Is this a known issue? Of course this is time sensitive so if you guys can just point me to info that I know I must be missing. Thank you!!
There is at least one known issue related to how corners radiuses are defined. Not sure if this can account for all issues you’re seeing.
A few possible workarounds to try:
- Go to Edit->Settings->File Settings and change DXF to not use arcs
- Export to SVG instead of DXF
The first work around does fix the majority of the problems! I would have never found this workaround so Thank you.
The SVG would also work, but Silhouette is proprietary so you have to pay to be able to use SVG files, so lightburn is a great answer with DXF files to expand the functionality of silhouette cutters.
Glad that worked.
I knew that SVG import required an upgraded version of Silhouette but I didn’t realize you could import DXF without upgrading. That’s nice and a slightly weird decision.
