The SVG file is imported wrongly. The text is located on another place that should be.
3d6.svg.txt (545.3 KB)
Seems to me that LightBurn is not handling the cloned shapes appropriately. Suggest you convert those objects to path as a workaround.
Please note that retired Internet Explorer displays this file without any problem. SVG is a major format type of LightBurn and it should be implemented without problems:
To be fair to Lightburn, your SVG locked up Adobe Illustrator, Silhouette Studio, CorelDraw, and Affinity Designer. LB also doesn’t import the stroke weight of dashed lines. The strokes have to be outlined.
I personally hope that SVG is a well defined format - see the link:
https://www.w3.org/TR/SVG2/
that is fully documented without hidden unknown traps like other commercial formats.
Thank you for reporting and drawing our attention to this. Thank you for the file for our review. How was this file originally generated? 
I do not know. I has been developped Graphics Magick and I have some test files.
There is a comment found in a file:
<!-- This file was generated by dvisvgm 1.8.1 --> Looks like SVG drawing tool: https://dvisvgm.de/
The SVG import problem seems to be quite common, see another image attached:
PS: Please allow to upload SVG to this forum.
Thank you for this additional example from the same generator.

Investigating further… Will provide more here as learned.
I too, find difficulty opening these files with a few different software programs. But, I am able to open with InkScape. As @RalphU shares,
LightBurn is designed to assist in art preparation and control for laser production, so there are different requirements for the artwork to be “laser-ready”. Importing art with line-weight, stroke, and/or filled shapes, are not supported. Color is used exclusively to separate shapes and assign onto different layers. This is done using ‘best-match’ color matching. Shapes colored black in the original art will import to the black layer. Layers are used to assign production settings such as the type of cut along with the speed and power applied when producing that layer. This is another concept that should be considered when evaluating the useable state of the desired artwork.
I understand that some features will not be imported correctly or not be further lasered.
But on the other side misplacing texts or another objects is the obvious bug.
It would seem so. 
That is why I offered,
Thank you again.
Note that from what I saw this was not text. It was sets of cloned paths.
Only if you define unsupported portions of a spec as being a bug. Good or bad I’ve actually not seen LightBurn claim adherence to any particular version specification at any level of compliance. Doing so might have its own value to help more narrowly define what can or cannot be expected to behave properly.
RickTechnical Evangelist - thank you very much for response.
[berainlb] - In general it is not wise to ignore standard. It causes huge amount of problems and incompatibilities. It is possible to intentionally ignore some known feature like text attribute. But ignore positioning leads to be unable to import graphical layout.
Look at this www page:

The only result is incompatibility and display something else that has been originally drawn. Lightburn has its own format and this format can be used as authors need.
- Open your SVG file in Inkscape.
- Export a PDF file.
- Import the PDF file into LB
Thank you. Yes, it seems workable but I am afraid that PDF has more complex graphical primitives than SVG and it could have problem on different places.
It is still better to make SVG working.
Do you know what happens when the bulb ruptures in Microsoft? They make darkness as a standard.
