Re: importing problem with dxf
I could be you have a larger drawing that the size of you work area in SheetCam. In SheetCam click on options as drop down will show 4 area, "job options" and "Machine" each has a dimension setting for the X and Y size of your material/table (X 48" and Y 48" ect or metric), this is where the Red screen display is from. You can display all of it or sections of it. Here is mine 5 X 40
