Convert xTool XCS to RDWorks .rld (Beta)

Move xTool Creative Space and xTool Studio designs to a Ruida laser: .xcs and .xs projects become RDWorks .rld files.

    Replace file

    An RDWorks project (.rld, V7 or V8) or Ruida job (.rd) to convert to LightBurn, SVG and DXF; or a LightBurn (.lbrn2, .lbrn), xTool (.xcs, .xs) or SVG design to turn into an RDWorks project.

    Options

    For .rld and .rd uploads: all three formats come from the same conversion; pick one if you only need that file. LightBurn, xTool and SVG uploads always become an RDWorks project.

    More options
    Engraved areas in .rd jobs

    A job only holds the scan lines of engraved areas, not their shapes. As a picture they engrave the same way in LightBurn; as lines you get the job's own scan lines. Projects (.rld) are not affected.

    Lists every layer with its settings below the drawing, on its own layer. Delete it before cutting.

    Only for LightBurn, xTool and SVG uploads. xTool and SVG designs keep their distance from the top-left corner of the bed, so pick yours (also for LightBurn projects made for a machine with its origin at the back or on the right).

    The width of your laser's work area, as set in RDWorks.

    The height (depth) of your laser's work area, as set in RDWorks.

    Your files are deleted after processing.

    Designs bought or made for xTool lasers come as xTool Creative Space .xcs files or xTool Studio .xs projects. RDWorks, the software of most Ruida CO2 lasers, opens neither. This page turns them into RDWorks .rld projects with the layers set up from the xTool settings.

    How to convert XCS to RDWorks

    1. Upload the .xcs or .xs file.
    2. Under More options, pick your laser's bed size (the design keeps its distance from the top-left corner, as in xTool's canvas).
    3. Check the preview and the layer table, download the .rld file and open it in RDWorks V8.

    What carries over

    • One RDWorks layer per xTool processing setting: cuts and scores become RDWorks cut layers, fill engraving becomes scan layers, bitmaps become picture layers.
    • Power, speed and passes as set in the xTool file, the line interval of fills and pictures, and whether a layer is output.
    • Shapes at true size, with groups kept; text arrives as outlines; pictures come along.

    Read this before cutting

    xTool machines are diode, infrared or low-power CO2 lasers, and their power percentages mean something else on a Ruida CO2 laser: the numbers are copied, but they will almost always need new values. Set speed and power in RDWorks for your tube and material, and test on scrap first.

    xTool-specific settings without an RDWorks counterpart (the light source of dual-laser machines, material presets, relief and other special processing modes) are not carried over. RDWorks processes layers in an order fixed by their colour; the converter keeps the xTool order by choosing colours accordingly, and the table shows which xTool layer each RDWorks layer came from.

    For a LightBurn file instead, use the xTool converter on this site.
