Circle in WinCnC

[Patrick Waite]

Ok where to begain. I have been doing alot of drawing lately. I have CorelDraw X3. Now when the drawing is all done I export it to my WinCnC. I open my WinCnC and import the DXF file to be cut. At this time I can see the drawing that will be cut. Now lately I have been seeing what I think is a glitch in my software. I see Circle in which I didnt draw in coreldraw. But now see in my wincnc. I just wondering if there is any one out there that is having this same problem and is there anything I can do to stop this.

Please Let me know.

Pat,
That used to happen to me all the time. it is usually caused by one of the nodes not being closed, WinCNC will try and close the loop by putting an arc in there, it's enough to drive you to drink. it would happen to me usually when the project was almost all the way done and it would cut a little circle at the base of a letter and drop it out.
sorry I missed your call working all weekend to midnight. will call you Monday night.

I've seen that happen one time on somebody elses DXF they drew in some CAD software. It was a tiny loop, about 1/16" in diameter and neither of us knew where it came from. Does it look like these? This is a snapshot of WinCNC.

He re-drew it and the little circles were gone. I think they were implanted by aliens, and when they saw they were noticed, they removed them.

well something like that. But much bigger. I will have to post it if I can get the pic. It happen again last night. I pulled a file off this web site and was getting ready to cut it and noticed the circle and had to stop and go back to corel draw and try to fix the drawing.

Did it look like this, because I will get them once and a while when I import a dxf in to plasmacam that someone else drew
but i dont know why it happens

P.S. this is a simulated circle, as I curently couldnt find a file that did it

Yup... aliens.... big ones.

[Patrick Waite]

Yes Big ones like that and yes it happen with drawing I down load from here alot. Not saying that the file are bad at all. Just need to do a little work on it to get it to cut right.
