SVG Export

CutCase exports the same panel layout shown in the cut-layout preview.

Export Button

Download SVG exports the current full design.

The SVG includes:

  • base box panels
  • closed top panel when enabled
  • lift-off lid parts when enabled
  • divider panels when enabled
  • panel features
  • optional panel labels
  • embedded metadata

Fit-Test Export

Fit Test exports a separate calibration SVG.

It contains:

  • loose coupon pair
  • standard coupon pair
  • tight coupon pair
  • text notes showing effective kerf

Use this before cutting the full box.

SVG Classes

CutCase uses classes to distinguish operations.

Common classes:

cut
engrave
mark
panel-outline
feature
feature-cut
feature-engrave
feature-mark
label

Cut Geometry

Cut paths use:

class="cut"

Panel outlines use:

class="cut panel-outline"

Feature Geometry

Round holes export as circles.

Slots export as paths.

Rectangles export as rect elements.

Feature elements include data attributes:

data-feature-id="..."
data-feature-type="slot"
data-panel="front"
data-operation="cut"

Metadata

The SVG contains a metadata block:

<metadata id="finger-box-config">...</metadata>

The metadata includes:

  • generator name
  • version
  • normalized dimensions
  • material thickness
  • kerf
  • fit mode
  • lid settings
  • divider settings
  • panel list
  • feature list

This makes the SVG self-describing and prepares the project for future reopen/import support.

Line Color

The export settings allow:

  • cut color
  • label color
  • line width

Many laser workflows use color mapping. Check your laser software's expected colors before cutting.

Scale

The SVG uses millimeter units:

width="...mm"
height="...mm"
viewBox="..."

After import, verify that a known dimension in the laser software matches the expected millimeter size.

Known Export Limitations

The current SVG export does not yet include:

  • DXF output
  • separate named laser layers
  • automatic sheet packing
  • line merging
  • reopen/import from metadata
  • material presets

Recommended Export Checklist

  1. Run fit test first.
  2. Verify dimensions in the production summary.
  3. Check panel count.
  4. Check lid/divider parts in SVG.
  5. Check custom features.
  6. Export SVG.
  7. Import into laser software.
  8. Verify scale.
  9. Map colors/operations.
  10. Run machine preview or frame.
