Bad Character used, line 0 -Loading DXF to Mach3

[Largemouthlou]

Still very new at this and have been trying to load dxf files into Mach3, I have DXF files from my bud who uses a waterjet and have tried a few from this site.. All have given me this error code.

Appreciate any help

Buy sheetcam much easier than trying to load a dxf direct into mach 3 and accepts different variations of dxf files.
Hope this helps

I as well have been playing with all this new fun tech recently, but what I have found best 4 me is loading a g-code to Mach -3 from Lazy cam (Where I Opt my dxf's that I make in ViaCad)... Seen lots of error msgs so for in Mach3, guess haven't pushed that limit yet!

Thanks Greg, I already have sheet cam and was bypassing it.. Worked with it this weekend and had the cutter running a g code.. Now to ck the motor alignment, the z axis sounded a little strained when going through the program..
