DXF to Gcode

[Karl_T]

My mastercam programmer didn't get this job done so I'm trying in NCplot.

I have a .dxf file that I'm converting to Gcode. When I import, all but one of the entities imports. Its the inside curve of the letter "a". This curve is an elipse n AutoCad. Every other entitiy is either a spline or a line.

The job is cutting a stensil out of aluminum.

Any suggestions to get this to work?

In AutoCAD, type PELLIPSE, change the value to 1, and redraw the ellipse. It'll then be made up of arc segments which should work fine.

Karl,

I loaded your DXF into my latest version with no problem. I don't think I've fixed anything in the DXF loader lately, what version are you using?

I've attached the NC file that I made from your DXF.

Thanks,
Scott

P.S. I love your program. keep finding more uses for it all the time.
