Has anyone had this problem. When I am converting things in my drawing to cut paths it skewes the lines, it runs lines throught or out of the object. Completly distorting the object. I left a message on the plasmacam owners site and also gave them a example of the picture and the distortions. They have not answered. I don't know if it is the program or what. Am I doing something wrong. If you know anything about this I would appreciate your views.
Thanks Gil gil@highsierrametalart.com

Re: Distortion when converting to cuth path
What usually causes that is the kerf compensation makes paths overlap and do wierd things. Set it to zero and try again. Also before you convert zoom in on some of the problem areas, if you see lines that are very close to each other or even touching picture where they will wind up when offset for kerf compensation. Once you see what is happening you can start cleaning up drawings so they convert without problems.
