I managed to get a basic square to project but the corners were slightly rounded.

I managed to get my truss template exported but when I display the image it comes out distorted, I tried to take some pictures but I could not get the complete image.

Thanks James, have managed to make some progress,
I created a simple DXF square drawing that I imported then optimized and I can get it to display on my projector. Does this mean that the other DXF files I am trying to view on the projector are beyond the capabilities of the projector?
I have tried optimizing my other DXF files and I cant get them to display.

Hi James,
I would do a voice chat but I live in Australia and from what I assume you live in the US? And I have been mucking around with this when I get a break in my busy schedule so I dont know when I might have a time that would suit both of us.
When I get to the output menu "laser art output options" I select number 1, ild save current frame.
From what I see I am doing the correct things but not getting the DXF ILDA output to work on my projector. I can import and export ILDA files without issue but importing a DXF and exporting as a ILDA seems to cause some issue with my projector.
This projector is just a unit I brought to test out my idea of laser template projection. If I can get it to work, I will look at building a much better projector. The projector has a dial on the back that I can change the size of the image, am I correct in thinking that I can project a image and scale it to a known object and the whole frame will be to scale?

Attached is a screenshot of my x menu settings,
I have set save ild 2D frames as 3D,
When I output the ILDA file I get a option to select the directory output location and then option to select the effect output. After I type a file name and export it then shows the ild file stats which I cannot do anything with.
I must be missing something because I have tried most things I can think of and still cannot work out how to get it to work.

Thank you for your offer to help with my project, when I need help I will post on this forum, that way others will get to share the information if they need it.
I have tried to import the dxf files then output a ILDA but it still wont work on my projector. How can I make sure that the exported ILDA file is format 0?

Yeah I have been trying to get Laserboy to export one of my DXF files to my projector but cant figure out why the projector wont project the image.
I cant even get the default Laserboy DXF files to export and show on my projector, I can output ILDA files and view them on the projector but not DXF. Do you have any idea of what I could try?

Yeah I have, they are very helpful.
My goal is to set up my projector to project DXF templates for marking out steel assemblies. I will need to have custom software written for my application, as in to simplify the workflow from our CAD program to the workshop floor. I am sure Laserboy will help my programmers out with an example of how the software should be done. I plan to make my completed program open source as well. I have benefited from the open source community of LinuxCNC for many years and I want to give something back.
Thanks again for your software!

Thanks for that James, it was indeed the issue.
Also thanks for your hard work in creating this software. It is a pretty neat program!

Hi all,
I have just brought a laser projector that comes with a SD card with stored images and I can get the stored images to work fine but when I create a image using Laserboy, it will not display the image.
I have tried importing a ILDA file from the SD card into Laserboy and exporting it again and the image will not work. I am thinking I need to change some settings for my projector?
