DXF or machine problem, or neither !?

[Gasgasbones]

Trying to attach DXF, i think it worked ?

[EddyCurrent]

It doesn't look like a dxf file to me

Im lost Eddie.

Trying to generate a Gcode in Cambam. I thought I had sussed it but it wont save to DFX only as .CB and my boxford wont recognise the file !

Sorry Carl,

But I can't open the DXF file. I don't know the boxford software, so someone else would have to contribute towards a solution.

You are seeing the arcs as a series of straight lines because somewhere in the chain of events from drawing to machine movements, the code to move the miller has been reduced to a low resolution.

Does the boxford software take in the dxf file ?

It is frustrating but I have to pass on this one.

I cant open that one in autocad either.
Sometimes long curves get broken up into smaller lines or if they are splines or so and they don't come out right when saved as a dxf I think.
Try loading the file back into cad then save it as a R12 or older version. Then reload it and save as a newer version dxf and try it again.

I think ive sussed it fellas :-)

I managed to generate a tool path using the cambam and have exported to DXF. Im running it now but the curves look a lot curvier than before so far :-)

I was just going to say, in CamBam you have to use; File --> Export --> to DXF

[Gasgasbones]

Its just finished its program. still looks wrong

[EddyCurrent]

You still didn't post the dxf file
