Title: Want round but getting Square corner problems
Post by: viperize on October 19, 2011, 05:25:43 PM

I was importing dxf files two days ago and if the file had a curve in it it would be a curve in Lazycam. But today when I import a file with curves in it I get square corners.

What went wrong? Is it in the setup on Lazycam?

Thanks,
Al

I resaved this dxf in VCarve Pro and exported into a dxf for you. Works fine now so I'm guessing it's the "type" of dxf you're saving it as. Try saving it as an 11 or 12 ACad version.

Your object is a spline, which LazyCAM (and a lot of other low end CAM) doesn't like. As Dave said, using v12 will convert the spline to a polyline.
