    Chains and entities in a drawing

    Hi

    At times my drawings which I save as a DXF file turns up in Lazycam with alot of chains and entities which causes the Z axis to work unneccessary and the cutting takes extra long.

    Is there software available to join all the lines and circles to form one continous line.

    The drawings I do is simple stick drawings and use Lazycam to generate Gcode in conjunction with Mach 3.

    Thank you
    Gasant

    I am using Cadstd and I have tried other cad software but the results seem to be the same.
