Inkscape Trace .dxf Cleanup

[KIDTech]

Here is a video I put together on an issue that some people have run into with tracing an image in Inkscape, saving as a .dxf and trying to open it in CAD. A lot of the times the .dxf will be really messed up and not look the same as it does in Inkscape. I have found a solution that works for me in ACAD and made a video tutorial for YouTube. This is my first video and YouTube upload so give me some feedback and let me know if there is anything else you would like to see videos on.

Thank you!

Also as it was pointed out and I should have stated in the video, this is only for those with issues using the "regen" command. My laptop I use on the road will lock up for an hour regening a drawing so I found this to be much faster, my desktop will do the regen on this in seconds. So I would try the regen before this! Again I should have pointed that out in the video.

Thanks for taking the time to make that video to help us out.

Honestly it only took a few minutes longer to have online than it did to make it but you are welcome.

I just ran into this problem today and am a new user of an ArcLight Cutter with a Hypertherm 85 cutter, this would have been much faster then the way I did it individually!!! Thanks for the tip, I will definitely use it in the future.
