I have been loading some DXF files into Lazycam and the majority are perfectly fine, but some of them become distorted.
I loaded a heart DXF into Lazycam and it made it look like a drawing by a child, it was nothing like a heart, but on the DXF file it was the perfect shape.
Am I doing something wrong and is there a way to correct this.

What are you drawing and saving the .dxf with? Try v12 .dxf format.

Thanks for you reply.
I am using Adobe Illustrator CS2 which does not have the v12 in the export settings, I guess I'll have to get Autocad or Corel.

Try using the A9 Converter to convert the .dxf to a different format. www.a9tech.com
I've seen other posts about Illustrator .dxf's not working well.

Its frustrating, its only really a problem with arc lines, sometimes they work and others they don't.
Thanks for that link, really appreciate it.

Try Switchers .dxf exporter.

I have installed Switchers dxf Exporter and still nothing will open the file even when saved as r12
