Sure thing, here it is.
I am converting from pdf files, using the AIDE pdf to dxf converter. Must be doing something wrong there.

How wide should it be. The .dxf is 241 inches.

[Ed_R]

Yeow. The widest part of the hole, including the ears, should be 3.4 inches, and it should be 1.57 inches tall.

[ger21]

I already did it at 4" wide. Try this.

Make sure your I,J mode is set to incremental in Config>State

[Ed_R]

That's definitely much more like it in performance. Thanks for your efforts, Ger. I need to figure out why the scaling went wacky in the conversion, because the drawings are 1 to 1 and I told the conversion to go 1 to 1 as well.
I'll go see if a 1 to .1 conversion will do the trick.

Getting g-code from a .pdf is not a good way to do it. Notice how many lines of code you had vs what I had. Learn to use a cheap or free CAD program like A9CAD, www.a9tech.com , and you can do something that simple in a few minutes.

[Ed_R]

The sim says 7 minutes for my code and a minute 58 for yours.
I've learned never to trust the conversions!

What pdf to dxf conversion utils are available , acfurate, and worth buying?

[Ed_R]

I definitely agree. I have CADSt lite, and A9CAD as well. My problem is I can't draw a straight line with a ruler
I have PDF's of what I want to cut in the dimensions I need them cut in, but you're right, I need to go back to square one and learn to use the proper tools.

can i get where you got that pdf file from
