dxf's dont open in sheetcam
Posted: Mon Jul 15, 2019 4:33 pm
When I load dxf files into sheetcam by selecting "import drawing" they don't show up. I've tried various dxf versions, such as R27, R12, etc, none show up. I do have the free version, I wonder if I need to purchase the license for it to work properly. Any ideas?
It still will load g-code fine. That was my primary use for sheetcam, after converting my inkscape files to g-code, I would open gcode in sheetcam as a check before opening in GoFab tablet. If gcode showed up correctly in sheetcam, 99.9% of the time it works correctly in the tablet. I like using a cad program for brackets. I have qcad and fusion 360, both can save drawings in dxf, but I need sheetcam or some other program to convert into gcode.
