Last night I created a very simple .svg in Illustrator like I have done many times before. The file consisted of ~50 circles and 2 squares that were a simple 1/8" Plywood Cut.
When I upload the file to the UI it loads and shows a series of arc’s that are very tightly grouped together. However, on the “edit” pane to the Left it shows what appears to be the correct file. I tried resaving the file, creating a few new circles making sure the colors were GF colors etc. I even shut down my GF unplugged my entire Internet (Router, Hub, WiFi Mesh etc.) and my PC to eliminate any possible glitches there. Upon reboot/restart, the file looks the same.
As you can see in the images below the UI looks really odd. The strangest thing is I threw caution to the wind and hit Print anyway… nothing to lose except some Oak Plywood. Next thing I knew the GF was printing the right thing, even though the display was horribly wrong, and even the final cut/capture shows that was is displayed is completely different than what was cut.
Had I needed to align this or even begin to know where the laser was going to cut I would have been SOL, clearly there is some sort of new issue with the platform.
I was going to ask that same question!
I suspect this is an older browser with limited SVG support. (SVG to draw in the browser window, not the SVG in the SVG file or SVG processed by the GF.)
I’ve found that the GF interface doesn’t work on Firefox 57, but works great on Chrome 60+. (I’m currently using Chrome 64.) And I suspect that IE/Edge may have some problems.
This “may” be a Chrome issue… I opened the same file in the latest version of Firefox and it renders correctly. If this is a Chrome issue GF needs to update their software to support the most recent update.
