editing drawing in sheetcam

Post by hsolve »

Good morning all. Just a question had a dxf file sent to me and the hole sizes are 20mm but need to be 22mm. Is there a way to change this in sheetcam. Need to get this out today if possible and not wait till Monday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I don't believe so. You can download the free version of DraftSight and change the hole sizes pretty easily.

A quick and dirty method is to put the holes on a different layer then edit your tool and add 2mm to the kerf width. That will make your holes cut 2mm over size.
