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.
