I’ve had this pop up before, but thought it was a drawing issue. It’s popping up again today, and I know it’s not a drawing issue. My file in Sheetcam Windows looks fine:
Notice the holes, which are now incomplete. It seems like arcs are where I notice this.
I would understand this more if I was importing a drawing (svg, dxf, etc), but I’m not sure why the change in the geometry as a job file. Any ideas? I have confirmed that my Drawing Import settings are the same in both version (though messing with them doesn’t seem to change anything).
If I post in Windows and open in CommandCNC, it’s fine. If I post from Linux and open in CommandCNC, it shows the same defect (which I expected).
Windows Dev version 6.1.53, Linux 6.1.57
It has all 4 nodes of the holes, and will display an outside offset just fine. No offset or inside offset are boogered up, though.
I have posted before about the same problem with importing curves into the Linux version of SheetCam. I believe this has to do with the SVG support and the conversion of arbitrary (Bezier) curves to a series of circular arcs. My work around is to create a job file in Windows and then reopen it in Linux, this takes care of 90% of the problems.
That’s the confusing part…this job WAS created in Windows Sheetcam, and then the .job file (not svg) was opened in Linux Sheetcam…Linux never saw a raw drawing…just the .job file from the Windows Sheetcam.
Will do. When I run the post on the Windows version, and send that to the Linux box, CommandCNC does fine with it (that’s how I cut it). Opening the .job file in Sheetcam caused the issues.
