I just checked Bricscad (AutoCAD clone) and it lumps dxf R11 and R12 together. It does offer to save as R10 or R9 versions. Not sure if any of these will work for your Myplasm software as I have no way to test. I seem to remember others having similar problems with dxf file opened with MyPlasm in the past. Perhaps I will save a copy in each format for you to try.

Original svg was opened with Inkscape and saved as dxf R14. Then imported to Bricscad and saved in the various dxf formats.
It would be interesting to see if any of these work with your Myplasm software.

You mentioned in your PM to me that you have problems all the time with files when you open them with Myplasm software. I have heard similar complaints from others. One possibility might be to consider using another controller/software package. Or if you find that one of the alternative dxf R formats works reliably for you, then just remember to convert to the format that works.

QCAD (free to download and use) will save as dxf R10 or dxf R9 formats. You might try one of these formats to see if it works for you.

Just want to say thanks for everyone’s help. I tried that DXF11 file from Plasmanewbie and it cut perfectly!

Question for Plasmanewbie - what program did you use to convert to dxf R11 format?
Thanks,

Thanks Wind for the final reply with the solution to this problem, shows again it is good to have some work around software in you pocket when needed.

But I still gotta figure out what program he used to convert to the correct dxf version.

Hey David, I used Corel Draw 2018. It offers numerous DXF export options which have come in very handy over the years.

Thanks for that! My newer version of Corel Draw 2020 does not offer that option.

Wow, not sure why they would eliminate that feature. Good to know I will stick with my 2018 :Like

My 2020 Corel Draw version says "Not for commercial use". I purchased this on Amazon last year. It works fine otherwise, but every time I open it - it asks if I want to upgrade to the subscription model.

Here are my export options - only one dxf version. But I am fine with that since I really don't use the program all that much.

Hey David, your last screenshot actually looks the same as mine when I go to export a DXF. So when I click on the DXF option same as you show above another small window pops up for me that gives me the option to choose what version of DXF I want to export as.

Thanks for that Plasmanewbie! My version has the same option for dxf versions, so I guess I had better pay closer attention - I missed that one.
