Export to SVG (free version)

[VGBenjamin]

Hello,

I would like to export my design to cut it with my laser in lightburn so the svg format would be great to do it.

I have first find the plugin NESTER but I have two issues with it:

- It split my box but the material panel is on the Z axe and with the joins I can't rotate it.

- Even if I have it split how can I export to svg from here?

Then I have also found the Shaper Utilities but there I need to export component per component so not really easy because when I expert everything at once I have something like this as it keep the positions of my bodies (I think):

I have the free version so if I am correct I cannot use the arrange feature in the manufacture model option as it is disabled.

My example is in attach.

Regards,

Create an output sketch, select and Project > Project the faces of all your bodies, into this sketch.

When exporting, I don’t think sketches can be exported to SVG, but you can export sketch to dxf.

Dxf files should be compatible with Lightburn, but I am not sure of that.

Might help….

Thank you for your suggestion 

@davebYYPCU  .

When I try to create the sketch after using the nester plugin, I have a message that ask if I want to capture the poistion but even if I say yes, all my component are on top of each other.  How could I fix this issue?

Before:

Capture message (in french sorry):

When I click on capture position:

The Shaper add in will export to SVG.

Thank you but as I explained I didn't succeed to use the Shaper Add in well as I need to export face per face so not very handy and when I export everything at once the shape is incorrect.

If I first apply the NESTER plugin and then the Shaper one then I have the following result (probably because my panel is oriented on the Z axe)

Do you have access to the arrange feature in the design workspace with the free licence?

I have the same preference screen as you do but I don't think that I have the option available in the designer.

If you have the arrange option checked in preferences you should see them under modify.

No it is grayed out :

Why not Export .dxf and use that file as the import in Lightburn? The scale will be less of a gamble and guess as well!
