Alright everyone, I'm back with more questions, this time with Sheetcam. I'm absolutely certain its something I'm doing wrong again, but I have no idea where to start.
Attached is a file I created in AutoCAD 2017, It is a very simple lower section to a bumper I am building for my Jeep. When opening in Sheetcam the Screen goes black, and has a yellow and Orange circle with some dots.
FYI - It opens fine in AutoCAD 2007 And Draftsight, the issue is in Sheetcam. (I have not updated to a newer version of sheetcam either, for fear of other variables at this time, my version is several years old)
Any guidance will be greatly appreciated.

Re: DXF file will not open in Sheetcam
Have you checked your scales? When I try to open it in Corel X7, it tells me the English size is 1.5mi x .15mi. Metric size is 107yds x 10yds. Can you re-save it as a different size? If I zoom in far enough, I get the word "Jeep" in 3 different places. Also, has some circles that look like they're being skewed in the display.

Re: DXF file will not open in Sheetcam
That's interesting, I have it setup in inches, and all the measurements show correctly when measuring on either autocad 2007 or 2017. I'll double check them tomorrow evening when I have a chance again.

Re: DXF file will not open in Sheetcam
Try ungrouping everything. There seems to be something odd going on with groups in the file. I will do some more testing.

I did notice something strange with the grouping but couldn't seem to correct it, I will play with it more when I get home.Les Newell wrote:Try ungrouping everything. There seems to be something odd going on with groups in the file. I will do some more testing.
