Vector artworkUse Import artwork for an exported SVG or DXF. Recreate the output settings in LaserStudio.
A missing imageTry a legacy .lbrn copy for embedded image data, or import the original bitmap and check placement.

Compare the two designs

  1. Compare one known dimension, placement and orientation.
  2. Check each layer’s visibility, output, operation, speed units, power, passes and processing order. Read any warnings before re-enabling output on a layer.
  3. Review the active machine profile and job origin. Save a .laserproj copy and compare a fresh software preview with the expected result.

See Import artwork and LightBurn projects for format details.
