Curve or oval distortion on import to sheet cam
Having problems when, importing images drawn in Inkscape into Sheet cam. The ovals on outside curves look fine in Inkscape, but when opened in Sheet cam the are distorted. I have tried DFX and SVG files both do the same thing. Even files that I have done before are now hosed when importing. I have tried simplify on the ovals and it is better but still not right. I have searched this forum and the internet. On the internet I have found others that are having the same issue with no replies to their questions. Is there a setting or something I am missing? Seems to have happened when I installed latest version of Inkscape 1.01

Can you post a pic of what you are seeing? Or post the file? Is it turning your curves into a series of straight lines linked together to follow the curve?

Found out it only does it in the demo version I use to check the files when I am making them. I use it for checking problems, opens and parts that need to be connected or they will fall out. The paid version I have on the laptop that is hooked up to the cutter that I use for the g code etc works fine.

Why not transfer the License to the computer you are doing the drawing on, no real need to have it on the cutting computer, once the G-code is developed.
