    DeskCNC importing DXF-wrong toolpaths

    Hello,

    I have a DXF file that I'm trying to cut on a CNC XYZ router with DeskCNC.
    When I load the file, then select all, then generate toolpaths, I select a cutting bit, then generate the G-code. The toolpaths generated are incorrect. How can I fix this? Is this a problem with my CAD program (I'm using Google SketchUp Pro) or is it have to do with the way I'm generating the toolpaths in DeskCNC?

    Deskcnc wont do 3D .DXF's, and doesnt like anything in .DXF's but lines, arcs and some polylines, Any dimensions or text has to be exploded into lines or arcs for Deskcnc to correctly read it.

    Try this file, just a trace over yours done in Turbocad<~~Which I highly recommend, any version is good, some can be bought for as little as $10, and I have never had a problem with DeskCNC using .Dxf's from Turbocad.
