Fix SVG scale and unit issues for cutting
Unit mismatches (px vs mm) can ruin a cut job. A file that looks correct on screen may cut at the wrong size.
Symptoms
- Cuts are too large or too small
- Material usage is wildly off
- Scaling changes after import
Root causes
- Mixed units in the SVG
- Transforms applied without flattening
- Export settings not aligned to real-world scale
How Lumekon fixes it
- Normalizes geometry and exports consistent output
- Flattens transforms that affect scale
- Produces predictable cut outlines
Best input tips
- Set a clear document size before export
- Avoid nested transforms
- Verify scale in your cutter software
FAQ
Why does scale change between apps?
Different tools interpret SVG units differently. Normalization helps.
Does Lumekon preserve size?
Lumekon outputs consistent geometry for cutting workflows.
Is px a problem?
Pixels are fine, but they must be exported consistently to avoid scale issues.
