@fabhund...  Any chance you could share your toolsetting script???

I don't know there was ever any doubt about that!   

What steps did you take to create the tool paths?

I increased the spacing, that didn't help.  I then edited the DXF and brought the dados inline with the part, if you saw, they extended past the part.  Hopefully that explains it well enough.

That seems to have fixed the problem, so it appears that CPP is creating a DXF that has issues when generating the tool path.

I downloaded the trial of V Carve.  I see what you mean by the templating.

However, even VCarve has issues with the DXF.  Instead of cutting a dado through the top of the two right most parts on the DXF, it's interpreting it incorrectly.  Easily visible in the 3D view.

Though it's certainly possible, I'm not doing something correctly.

No, I'm using the 'free' version to see if I can get my head around how this whole cad/cam thing is supposed to work.

I'm a non CNC cabinet shop right now, but am exploring other options.

Sorry, I could have been a little more descriptive...

LazyCam seems to import the DXF fine, seems to generate the chains correctly, but doesn't include the part on the far right into the tool path and resulting G Code.

LazyCam (Beta) / Importing a Cabinet Parts Pro DXF

I generated a very simple box cabinet using Cabinet Parts Pro, nested and generated a DXF.  When I load the file into LazyCam, it's ignoring one part on the DXF.

I'm trying to figure out if it's CPP that is creating a non standard DXF or it's LazyCam that is somehow misinterpreting the DXF.

I'm attaching the original DXF and the LCAM file.

Thanks,

Bob
