| LazyCAM entities Does anyone know if LazyCAM will recognize spline entities as generated by AutoCAD? I can import the image and it will actually select the spline as a chain, but I can not pocket up to it. Please advise. |

| Save the output from Acad as a R-12 DXF and see what happens. Scott

| No change...I read on the Mach site that splines are a problem for LCAM for now. I use them alot for doing manual bitmap traces, etc. Is there a better software for doing these types of raster to vector conversions without breaking the bank? |

| Splines are trouble for most affordable CAM packages. If you save your DXF as an R-12 DXF, it will convert your splines to simple polylines and any CAM package will then process them without a hitch. Give it a try. Scott

| This is not the original, but this is significantly more simple than the original and I still can't seem to get it to work as an R12 .dxf. I am just trying to pocket out inside the ellipse and island the irregular shape(s) on the inside. |

| LazyCAM is probably having trouble due to all the very small segments. Probably not much you can do.
