I’m using Adobe Illustrator to create my dxf files.1. what are the dxf settings I should use (see images). 2. designing in inches. 3. dxf file seems large (1.6MB) for a 3"x3" image? What’s the import process on the arcdroid? 1. home 2 zero 3 load (choose dxf file from jump drive 4… then what? huge thank you in advance! ![Screen Shot 2024-02-20 at 4.57.37 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/2X/8/871dc4f359957049def48105817e6561e2d7de50.png) ---

Those bought offline have too many lines. The arcdroid don’t like most files over 500MB. I have not got my X2 hooked up yet so don’t know if that makes a difference. Hope this helps. God bless work safe Anthony in Alabama ---

_ **then what…** _. If you are happy with the placement of the design on the screen/ cut area then press START to cut it - (Might want to do a “dry-run” first with the torch OFF just to make sure it’s doing what you thought it would do! The more you “play” with it the more you understand it. I made a little step through cheat sheet with the steps I need to take for each set up - much like your list above ![Arcdroid Check List](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/arcdroidcnc/original/2X/5/514657e95f443092e3b2ae6f5e43540e0516a726.png)
