So I got my ArcDroid a couple days ago. I am trying to learn. I am cutting the files on the SD card. However when I try to open the Scorpion I get an error file too big!! stopped on line 9722 (208.8 / 276.7 kb) How do you load this file?

Put it on you USB not your SD card

Ok so I should have been more clear. The unit came with a Micro SD card and an adapter for that to USB I have that SD card in the USB adapter in the port on the display. It seams like all the other files on that card/usb work but the Scorpion doesn’t load. It’s not an issue with the SD/Usb it still has 7 gig Free space. The ArcDroid appears to have very little working Memory so it can load the file into simple trace. Unless I am missing something.

Convert to GCODE it takes exponentially less space than .dxf

Can you elaborate on how you do that? I am very new. and I am just trying the example files from the usb that came with the unit.
