Hi @Ideassion_Technology,

We improved our SAM2 export and now it should export in a reasonable time.

Let me know if it works for you!

@Mayesha_Rahman can you create a new version and try again?

It should be fast.

@min_liu if I understand it correctly, it is not related with SAM2, right?

I checked your dataset, can you try to generate a version with `Auto-Orient` preprocessing?

Thank you for your reply. The problem is gone now, and the labeling works correctly. I also don’t know why… haha. 😬
