What format is the autocad file? You should be able to just import the cad drawing and cut.

It says DXF but when I import it to cad lite to modify the size it's does something I've never seen before. And it's really hard to explain. I'll take a pic of my screen so you can see!

Re: need help with a DXF file
He may have saved it in a newer version of ACAD software than you have capabilities of opening. Ask him to do a "save as" and save it back to an older version like 2004

Re: need help with a DXF file - The Rack
It's to big to post as a DXF, but if you send me your email address I can send it to you as a DXF. Send your email address with the subject Private email to my user name @gmail.com and I'll send you the file.trupster415 wrote:larry do you happen to have it in a DXF ?
