Hello everybody,
the dxf file I am inporting into sheetcam looks different from the CAD software. Here are two screenshots, where you can see the problem:
That’s how it looks in the CAD:

And that’s the appearance in Sheetcam, of course I want a “clean” letter:

And here is the dxf file:

Can anyone help?
Thanks
Christian
That is an arc fitting tolerance issue. G-code only understands lines and circular arcs. To try to keep the output code as clean as possible SheetCam tries to convert the curves in your S into a series of arcs. If your arc fitting tolerance is too high this conversion can be too aggressive and cause distortion.
Go to Options->application options->drawing import and reduce the arc fitting tolerance. Try halving it. You need to reload the drawing for this setting to take effect.
thanks for the help! I managed to get the right “design” into SC!

Les,
I’m using the dynatorch post processor with “no feed” for a dynatorch
machine. All is fine and SheetCAM is working good. Just thought I’d ask, is
there any way to turn off the warning each time I use the post processor.
The Warning is sheet cam telling me there isn’t any feed rate specified.
I know it’s trivial, but just thought I’d ask.
Thanks for all the help and support.

Edit the post processor and look for function OnNewOperation(). Remove these three lines:
if (feedRate <= 0) then
post.Warning(“WARNING: Feed rate is zero”)
end
That should fix it.
