I believe there is still a bug in Inkscape that will screw things up if you choose millimeters for the export. I create my files using millimeters for units, and then export the DXF with pixels (px) specified. Don’t select either option when outputting from Inkscape to import into LaserCut 5.3. While the LWPOLYLINE option sometimes works, it sometimes causes issues. :) I’ve avoided selecting the ROBOMASTER option, as that does strange things to DXF files. In the image above you’ll see a file being exported from Inkscape as a DXF file for a “Desktop Cutting Plotter” which, I guess, is one way to describe a laser cutter. I won’t go too deep into using Inkscape for laser cutting, as it’s a topic I’ve covered before, and besides having to use DXF files instead of PDF files, nothing else has really changed. I’ve been using LaserCut 5.3 to control a G.Weike LC1390N Laser Cutter, and since I use Inkscape to create my files, I thought I’d go over a few of the settings I use so that in the future when I forget I can read this post.
