don_temple Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 Is anyone using DXF exports of drawings for CNC programming? If so, how is it working in v7.0.2? Thanks, Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Allen Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 We haven't had any problems, but I tend to open the DXF in AutoCAD first, to make sure that the CNC programmer is getting exactly what I intend to send. I start from a new Blank drawing in IronCAD. When I open the DXF in AutoCAD, I change all line properties to "By Layer", move everything to the 0 layer & Purge All a couple of times to remove unused layers, etc. This gives me zero-width lines and assures that the file is at its most basic state. The extra steps may not be necessary, depending on your CNC software, but I like the extra control of being able to check the output. -Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
