Preview Button Showing Distorted Shapes

Hi, I am using atomstack x20pro with LB 1.3.0.0.
Today i faced a weird problem. When using preview option to check my job, it started showing, distorted shapes.
In one job, it’s reducing the size/gap between different shapes and overlapping them on one another.
In other job, its cutting shapes of it’s own.
Till yesterday it was working just fine.
But today i don’t know what happened.
Please help.

Hi amankhemka,

Could you show a screenshot and/or share your .lbrn or .lbrn2 file with us?


It’s likely that your Layer 27 has a kerf offset applied, double click the layer in the Cuts / Layers window to view the setting and adjust. You’re also viewing the workspace in Wireframe mode, if you change to Filled you will get a more accurate depiction of what the cut will look like before doing your final preview (Window > Filled)

Thankyou sir,
It was due to kerf offset applied.
Can u please tell me difference wireframe mode and filled mode.

In Filled mode items that are to be etched (filled) will be shown as solid, rather than as lines.

Dear Sir,
Facing same issue again.
But this time i am only using my kerf setting to 0.08, and again shape changes and space decreases.
please check.


kerf applied only 0.08



This was solved in the other thread:

Project is in inches, kerf uses millimeters: a kerf of 0.08 inch wasn’t expected.
