Hi....

When i make some text in solidedge2d e.g. " This is a test ",,,, and save it
as dxf. file,,,, then open the dxf file in lazycam, the spacing is abnorm...

E.g. " T his is a tes t ".....

Anyone knows why this happens????




Regards John Hansen

Either Solid Edge is writing the .dxf wrong, or LazyCAm is reading it wrong. Post a sample .dxf and I'll look at it.

Hi

If you would be so kind.....

I have made a dxf for you....


Rgd John Hansen

See if this is any better.

Hi

I have loaded it in lazycam, and still i have some spacing problem...

Could it be because i only use a lazycam thats is incorporatet
in the MACH3 demo v. R2.63????

I have purchased mach3 yet, just try it out right now.



Regards John Hansen

I'd send the .dxf to Brian Barker at Mach3 and explain the problem to him. It appears to be a LazyCAM problem. But I don't use LazyCAM, so can't check.

Oh thanks.....

I have in the meantime tryed the same with A9CAD freeware 2d drafting software, and saved the text-string as dxf, loaded in Lazycam, and with same spacing problem.... So my conclution is also that the problem is in
Lazycam....


Best rgd. John Hansen....

I forgot to say that I checked it in AutoCAD. Since Autodesk defines the .dxf file format, imo if it opens fine in AutoCAD, then the .dxf is OK. The only thing I noticed is that the justification (Top Left?) is not the same as the default in AutoCAD (Left). But that was the only thing out of the ordinary. That's all I changed in the version I posted.

Hi, and thanks....

Should i expect to be contacted by Mr. Barker or ????
