Are you using dxf? If so, try using svg instead. Corel can do some odd things with dxf files.

When you save the file, instead of selecting dxf, select svg (scalable vector graphic). When you open the drawing in SheetCam set the file type to 'svg'.

Les I've had the same problem since we switched computers. I make a file in cd and run it through dxf standard tool. When I open that file in sheetcam there are a lot of broken lines and extra lines when it comes to a sharp turn. It seems to work all right on simple files, but on more complicated files it's all messed up. Hope you can help. Thanks,,,,,,,,Curly

Have you tried using SVG instead of DXF?

Either using corelx8 or you have made changes in sheetcam Les, as I don't have any problems these days at all saving as dxf r14
