loosing parts of drawing on import to sheetcam development

[Squigly]

Hi All

Having a strange thing happen to some cones I am importing into sheetcam development, it either losses half the cone or adds additional radii.

I have included the DXF file so you can see if it does the same on your side.

This is only happening to the cones and no other parts (or at least that i have noticed)

That looks like a bug in SheetCam. You can work around it by going to Options->application options->drawing import and setting the arc fitting tolerance to 0. Next time you import the drawing it should be correct. Alternatively you can load the drawing using the stable version. I'll do some investigation and try to find out what is wrong.

Thanks Les,

I have been trying the work around and it does seem to work, just a note on that though it does seem to add random pause points in some arcs and circles when I set the import variable to 0, this is only noticeable when actually cutting and can cause some issues with the THC where the pause will cause the torch to bottom out on the material and trigger a limit.

Could you send me a dxf and job file that demonstrate the problem.

here are the file's

it actually appears as if on the larger cones it has reversed the arc from the original file.

The latest dev version I uploaded yesterday should fix this.

Working like a charm, thank you Les!!!
