I have attached pictures for clarification. I drew up a very simple file in Fusion 360 (capture3 pic) and exported it as a .dxf file and imported it into Luban. When opened in Luban, the curves on the outer line were converted to straight lines (capture2 pic). I thought maybe the file was corrupt but when I open the same dxf file in any other program that can read dxf files, they display fine. It seems this only happens in Luban.
Is there a way to correct this in luban? Or is there something I need todo with Fusion?
Great, now I gotta add another step lol. Maybe I can figure out how to get Fusion to post process for the laser and skip Luban.
Thank you for your help.
Not to add more into your workflow, but you ought to consider trying Lightburn, at least as a 30 day trial. If your workflow is heavily dxf, I think itās dxf import is better, and itās worth a try. Luban seems to be geared a bit more towards an svg workflow from inkscape or illustrator.
I know @sdj544 has had great success with Luban, though, but I think heās working from SVGs. Not positive on that.
Could also try and downgrade Luban to an older version and see if that specific dxf issue existed then? There have been quite a few dxf bug fixes over the last year. This one might be fixed soon, who knows.
I donāt do a lot of dxf files but when ya need it, ya need it! I will take a look at Lightburn. Would that software be able to replace Luban or would it just add another step?
Eventually will move to lightburn probably but so far been able to do everything I need to do in Luban.
But I use both 3.8 and 3.12.3 There are features/bugs in both so depending on what Iām doing I use one vs. the other. Not really sure specifically when and why I choose which. Basically I try to use 3.12.3 and if it formats/previews weird then I use 3.8.
Which may make you wonder (and me too) why I just donāt switch to lightburn. Mainly because I havenāt. Been too busy making stuff and havenāt had time to slow down to switch over.
I do agree with your posts previously that emphasize āpick a tool and stick with itā, and since Luban is an all-in-one software, if you can get familiar with it and make it work, great.
Luban does get updates regularly, and they seem to be making tangible progress on many bugs. I think itāll get there someday.
Iām looking at lightburn but am confused about one thing. Is this software strictly for laser? Or can it also replace the CNC and 3D printer operations too?
Oh, and I forgot to mention, as I said earlier, I create these files in Fusion BUT, fusion does not have an āexport to .svgā it only exports to dxf.
