Someone told me to try R12 format would work and I tried it with success.  Since it is working for me I will not post a file.  I assume that the 2000 and 2004 Acad formatts do not work in Lazy Cam.  If the R12 format works that will be fine. 

Thanks for responding.

I tried the R12 format and it seems to be working.  I will be using this on a plasma cutter to cut simple designs like hinge plates and brackets. So my application is pretty simple.

Since the R12 format works I will not post a sample.  No need to take up someone's time if my problem is solved.

I do not know very much about Autocad so the "di" command is not know to me.

Thanks for responding.  Hopefully I can do the same for someone.

If someone is able to consistently import Autocad created DXFs into Mach3 or Lazycam, I would much appreciate a few tips.  I have saved my simple drawings in all the available DXF formats (2004,2000,R14...) and none of them will import into Mach3 or Lazycam. (I get an error such as illegal argument or it will just stop)   I can create a DXF using one of the freeware CAD programs and they import fine.

There must be some setting that will allow the Autocad 2004 drawings to be imported but I can't fixure it out. My eyes are red from all the searching and reading on the web.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Using Corel Draw and Autocad 2004, I saved my simple square box (also tried simple circle)  in every available version of DXF. (2004,2000, R13,14...) I attempt to bring it into Lazycam and I get an illegal argument error or sometimes just an error box with no description in it.  I downloaded a sample DXF that someone else posted in the forum and it came into Lazycam OK.

I reinstalled Mach3 and Lazycam...same results.  Tried different compute....same results.

Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreaciated.

Thanks,

jr
