• Under “System settings” > “Operation/information” > “Advanced system settings”, select
“Enable graphic cache”.
This setting reduces the marking time of files containing graphic objects.
• Reduce the lines or points in your original graphic file (VEC, DXF, BMP, JPEG, HPGL).
• For VEC files, use the Logo Data Editing software to change the style of the filling lines.
With the optimize tool in the Logo Data Editing software, you can remove redundant
points and optimize the marking order.
For details about the operation of the software, refer to the “Logo Data Editing Operation
Manual”.
• If your DXF file contains several lines that create one stroke, use AutoCAD or another
drawing software to redraw the graphic using a polyline to connect the points.
• If you use a DXF file and “Adjustment of size and filling” is set to “ON” in the object
settings, do the following:
‒ Go to “Data management” > “Graphic files”.
‒ Select the DXF file in the list and select “Edit graphic file”.
‒ Set “OFF (recommended)” for “Graphic presets”.
It may decrease the preparation time (time for READY ON status) when changing the
marking file.

2000, 2004, 2007, 2010, 2013, 2018 are available.

To mark AutoCAD LT drawing files with the laser marking system, first convert them into
DXF files. A file with the extension .dxf is a file format developed by Autodesk to interchange
drawing data with other applications. Refer to the AutoCAD LT online help for detailed
information on how to convert an AutoCAD LT drawing file into a DXF file.
