Beam Bench project files
What a .lzrproj archive stores and what stays in app preferences.
A .lzrproj file is a ZIP archive containing project metadata, the document, and embedded assets. Use it to retain editable Beam Bench artwork and processing settings.
Stored in the project
- Objects, groups, geometry, transforms, layer assignments, and embedded assets.
- Layers and their processing entries, including mode, power, speed, passes, and interval.
- Workspace dimensions, machine-profile reference, and machine-profile snapshot.
- Project notes, Start From, Job Origin, user origin, and optimization settings.
- Project material thickness and applicable transform-lock settings.
Image assets are stored as files inside the archive. They are not external image links that the recipient must recreate.
Managed separately
The live controller connection, in-progress job, app preferences, panel layouts, and library catalogs are not the project document. The editing reference-point choice is session state. Installed fonts can differ between computers.
Opening a project does not authorize motion. Verify its active machine profile, dimensions, origin, and output before running it on another machine.
Save and open
Use File > Save, Save As, or Open. The CLI's project open/save commands and corresponding API operations act on the running app's project and require its local API.
Project loading and saving enforce archive, document, and asset size limits. Missing or invalid assets and oversized archives produce errors. Keep a copy of the original if you need to simplify a large project.
Recovery and compatibility
Autosave creates a separate recovery archive. Restoring it marks the recovered project as needing a save; it does not resume a machine job.
The app handles supported older project fields, but a newer project's features may not be understood by an older build. Keep backups before editing important work across app versions.
