Drawing Import issue - Missing profiles, missing lines

Post by Symfab »

I am having an issue importing a DXF into Sheetcam. it is a simple file. When I upload the drawing the lower notch in the fins is missing. Any suggestions? I have attached the file and a picture of the screen. Thank you very much!

What cad package did you draw them with? The outlines are splines rather than lines and they appear to be triggering an obscure bug in SheetCam.
As a workaround load the drawing back into qcad, select everything then select Modify->explode. The drawing should now work.
