Preview doesnt reflect design



ok designed basic key fob, now the design looks good, but when i preview its all outta whack, and it burns outta whack. and this just started. Need some help

A few more details of what “outta whack” means to you would be helpful, but at first glance the Line Interval seems excessively large.

You should run an Interval Test to determine the proper value for your laser with your setup on your materials, but it’s typically around 0.1 mm.

The lines in the preview might be 0.5 mm apart.

Is this an “image,” not a vector?

It looks like you’ve got unwanted Kerf Offset on the Line layers making up the outer circle and keychain hole. Removing that should put things back into fine whack.

If that’s not it - please share the .lbrn2 file here so we can take a closer look. :slight_smile:

no its is a vector

il check that thanks

That dd the trick some times its the little things lol, ty for the assist

1 more thing how to i get that to stay off, every time i open a key chain the kerf is on?

If you’re opening a previously saved .lbrn2 file (or multiple previously saved files), it’s likely the Kerf Offset is saved to the layer in question in those files. The only way for it to not be on when you re-open is to turn it off, and then re-save the project.

If you’re opening a graphics only file (like an SVG file), you may have the Kerf Offset assigned as a default to the layer itself. To correct that, remove the Kerf Offset and then click ‘Make Default’ in the bottom of the Cut Settings Editor window.

thanks again
