Greetings all,
I have my arcdroid updated on all files, and after trying to use the trace function without success on curves to my liking, I decided to draw the wrench i am working on in AutoCad 2022 to get a cleaner version to cut.
when i loaded the DXF into the deck, i got a bunch of extraneous cut lines i didn’t draw in.
(see pic)
I thought it might be hidden lines i wasn’t seeing, and went back into Autocad and looked at my layer window and confirmed that there were no layers turned off…
I thought the save as dxf 2018 extension might be causing issues, so i went thru and saved on all iterations of the DXF avail on Autocad with no changes.
I moved the wrench off the X,Y 0,0 point in Autocad and box selected over the areas were the lines were showing up on the arcdroid screen, and nothing is showing up as any selected items…
Not sure what to do here. I “could” start all over in Fusion 360, but honestly i have 7 hours on this now and my boss is giving me the raised eyebrow now.
mtw1, my thoughts exactly,
I used the DXF import utility ( strongly suggest fusion users get, its free) and loaded the DXF into fusion directly, and made a Gcode file
(see pic)
.DXF is a 40+ year old format with a zillion patches and kludges along the way. So it’s a minor miracle we can do it at all on the ArcDroids limited processing power.
So we are continuously finding new edge cases where it doesn’t work right.
So if you could. Please email us the file you were having trouble with and we’ll analyse it an hopefully improve our import utility in a future update.
