    TurboCad and VisualMill 5

    I posted this in the TurboCad forum but not much traffic there.

    I cannot load a dxf file made with TurboCad 14 into VisualMill 5. I can however load a dxf made with Alibre. I can also load a dxf made with TurboCad 14 into CamBam. Just seems that VisualMill does not like the variety of dxf that TurboCad is outputting. Anyone have this problem or know a solution ?

    Thanks

    Try the oldest version of .dxf that TurboCAD will let you export. If that doesn't work, try sending the bad .dxf's to VM's tech support.

    I had the same problem with earlier TurboCad and found I had to explode certain generated entities into more basic geometries (polylines,....).
    I found this out by selecting an entity and viewing "selection info".
