Import Drawing Issue - Black Screen

Post by CNCboy »

Hey there,
we use Sheetcam V 3.0.15 for a Long time and we never had this Problem before. Now, when we make a Drawing in AutoCAD as .DXF file and try to Import it to Sheetcam, the program doesnt Show the layer and lines, it only Shows that the file is opened but in the Right window where the Drawing is shown normally is only a black screen.. we tried everything and we hope that you can help us :roll: . Thank you in Advance! :)

When you open the drawing make sure the file type is set correctly. For instance if your drawing is a dxf and you try to load it with teh file type set to Excellon you will get a blank screen.

In the window that allows you to select the drawing there is an option for the file type. It is usually just above the 'open' button.
