is there a way to solve? like,when we create a circle and export to dxf,the dxf turn in alot of dots instead of a circle
They just look like the nodes of the curve or nodes of the lines that make up the approximated ellipse. If you can post your DXF we can take a look.
its only in the 1.7 version that have this option?
No, I’m on 1.6.03 and I’ve got this. I expect it’s been there for a very long time. I’m not sure how much it helps in your case as I’ve just performed a test and even with this option enabled an ellipse still gets exported as a polyline consisting of linear vectors (i.e. lines, not curves/arcs).
I’m not sure but if you’re in ‘Beginner mode’ this option might not show up.
im not in the beginner mode tbh,anyway,ty all,this helped alot
I guess I assumed that an ellipse entity in LB ( a stretched circle) was an ellipse entity in DXF. It is not - it becomes a polyline. If you export to DXF a perfect circle from LB, it is a circle entity.
Indeed, I wasn’t sure how LB would export an ellipse to DXF so thought I’d perform a quick test to make sure.

I’ve added support for ellipse objects in the exporter for the next update.
An ellipse isn’t proper arcs, but if you create a real ellipse object in LightBurn, it will now export as a DXF ellipse object, unless it’s skewed, in which case the math gets hideous, so it still exports as a path.
