The export engine operates as an independent background process (IPC), keeping the viewer completely fluid even when processing large queues of files.

1. Vector to CAD (SVG ➔ DXF) for CNC Machining

Essential for laser, plasma, and CNC routing! Converts SVG Bezier curves and arcs into polyline segments matching AutoCAD DXF R2010 standards with inverted Y-coordinates, ready for RDWorks, LightBurn, and LaserCAD.

2. 3D Model Conversion

Seamlessly convert polygonal models between .obj ⇄ .stl ⇄ .glb (and .blend with Blender connected) without loading heavy 3D suites.

3. Decoupled Background IPC Worker

Export jobs are dispatched to export_queue.json and processed by the dedicated worker export_utility with singleton locking. You can continue inspecting or managing assets while the exporter processes batches in the background.
