Graphic elements applied in AutoCAD LT and corresponding marking objects
• Depending on the drawing procedures and methods of the DXF data, minor conversion
errors can occur. As a result, some graphics marked by the laser marking system might
differ from the original graphics.
• If you reduce the graphic size, so that it is smaller than the original size, the difference
between the original graphic data and the marked data will increase. In particular for
curved lines, the differences will be more clearly visible.
• If graphic data that contains filling lines cannot properly be converted into marking data,
save the DXF file in a different file format.
• Unsupported elements in a DXF file cannot be marked.
The following tables show which elements are available for the marking process.
