64 × 24 drawing pixels
Ready. Make your first mark.
Optional print & 3D-making exports
1 mm overlap on every edge. Enter the full sign width for an exact preview; until then the rim is illustrative.
BusyBox D artwork uses pixels, not millimeters. These measurements apply only to physical SVG exports. The editor and PNG always use the 8:3 display ratio.
The sign / artwork width and height above set the physical size for these exports.
Height is calculated at 8:3. No physical size is assumed.
Color SVG includes all visible layers. CAD SVG includes composited pixels matching the selected ink, as closed outlines; import into Fusion, check scale, then extrude. Adjacent rows may need joining. Print SVG at 100% / actual size. No STL or fitting geometry is generated.
