My Sheetcam doesn't recognize points fo drilling.
In AutoCAD they are shown but when i import the dxf file to Sheetcam they aren't recognised.

Are they not shown at all in Sheetcam? Or just not recognized as a drill operation? I've found they have to import as actual circles to be recognized for a drill operation. If you convert them to curves (or something like that) in your drawing, they may not register as circles when imported into Sheetcam.

They aren't even shown. On one computer it works on the other they aren't shown.

When you first import the DXF file, SC has a box you can check that says "use points for drilling". Is that checked?

It doesn't even show up. And do you know how to fix it.

Sorry, that's the only thing I could see that would cause the points not to be recognized. Check to see that the layer the points are on is not "frozen". I am not sure if that would make a difference or not, but worth a shot.
