I have run into a problem a few times with dxf not working. I use qcad, occasionally I find a file that will not open there. I have used some of the files from the forum and they open, others do not. Any thoughts?

Re: dxf compatibility
Some software just don't play nice with other software, nothing you can do about it.
Even though it is in a format (DXF) does not mean you can read it.

Re: dxf compatibility
Interesting thing is Sheetcam can read it just fine. I had not tried that before, I got hung up thinking I had to preview it in qcad.

Re: dxf compatibility
you can download a program called Irfan view and then get the DXF plug in you can display DXF files very easy like displaying jpeg or bmap images.
