Affinity Designer 2 - export SVG in correct scale for laser cutting (Lightburn)

[713]

Hi, 

Affinity Designer 2 exports SVGs in random scale which causes problems when laser cutting. Is there any solution for that? Maybe Affinity Team works on it?

Hi @713 and welcome to the forums,

Inkscape and most other software export SVG files at 96 dpi units, but Affinity apps use 72 dpi. Lightburn uses 96 dpi by default resulting in SVG files imported from Affinity apps being scaled by 1.3333%.

There’s a setting in Edit > Settings under the File Settings page in Lightburn to switch between 72 and 96 dpi for SVG imports so changing that to 72 dpi 'should' resolve the issue for you but let us know if it doesn't.
