So I ran into this engraving a logo from the web in svg format. Ive seen it around before also, but I figured out a workaround. You will also need Lightburn for this.
If you load an SVG into Estlcam and some of the paths are all crazy, load the same SVG into lightburn, then “export” as an SVG file. Load that file into Estlcam, and it should be fixed.
I played a bit with your SVG files. You did nothing wrong, and I couldn’t find anything wrong with the SVG codes. The original file was entirely made up of paths. I cut the file down to a SVG with a single, misbehaving path:
I cannot think of a reason to use SVG over DXF in general, but there may be special cases. I haven’t done any head-to-head comparisons, but my perception is that Lightburn handles large SVG files better than large DXF files. For example, I imported an SVG into Lightburn last week with 1,200,000 line segments. Lightburn was a bit slow to load the file, but after that, it was fine.
