Preview and export
Review the toolpath
- Open Preview job after setting up the layers.
- Use Show travel moves to inspect laser-off movement between shapes.
- Scrub the estimated-time slider or use Previous move and Next move. Zoom and pan to inspect details. Fit bed resets the view.
- Regenerate the preview after editing artwork, layer order or machine settings.
The timeline estimates motion using programmed feeds and an assumed rapid speed. Actual job time depends on the controller and machine.
Save output
Choose Save offline G-code in the Laser panel when you need a G-code file. Review warnings and confirm the machine profile, work origin and bed limits. Use SVG for artwork interchange and .laserproj to keep the editable project.
