Title: Optimizing dxf drawing
Post by: corydoras on October 28, 2007, 11:33:56 AM

Hi
I have a dxf file of an indoor depron model airplane that i would like to cut on my cnc

The problem is that when i try to clean an optimize it it adds a ton of rapids, so thet it almost looks like a web.

I have watched the Lazycam videos a couple of times, but please tell me what I am doing wrong

The file is originally a converted pdf, but has been cleaned up pretty good in Autocad.

There are some places that are not connected so it make the drawing made out of aprox 5 parts.

I am attaching the dxf file and the L.cam file if someone would like to take a look at it and tell me what I am doing wrong

Thanx in advance

Cory

so there where multiple lines on top of each other?

I have Autocad, but zoomed in, and did not find any duplicate lines, but i must have missed the spots where they where?

Looks like you were a little trigger happy with the delete button... ;)....some of the lines are missing....an airplane without rudders:)

Thanx anyway

Hi


There should be 8 parts.

Ihave attached a screenshot with the missing lines circeled in red.

Did you clean this up in LC?, or another cad program? what commands did you use?
