Need help getting file into cutting shape.

Post by Deadhorse »

Th attached dxf file will not import into our plasma cutting software, Vicon. I was wondering if someone could take a look and instruct me as to why and what needs to be done to it to make it cut-able, would really appreciate the help.

Before the deluge of jokes arrive about your transparent file - I think it didn't attach. You can try to post it again here or email it to me and I'll take a look. info at FourNinetyCreations dot com.

The file is 5mb, probably too big to upload here?

Probably so. The cleaned up an bridged version I emailed back to you is 70.8k so it should upload here to share if you want.
