Hi Guys.
I am a newbie.
I am using emachineshop to draw some panels for a firepit, but sheetcam doesnt like the file. Can you see anything obviously wrong with the file??

Thanks

Hi
I opened it in Inkscape and combined all segments of the drawing and it opened fine in SheetCam about 9" wide.
Yours opened fine in SheetCam too but it was very large and the node count was low. :)

I found a fix by clicking on 3D tab in emachineshop, it highlights problem and offers 'auto fix' ' which I selected, it then worked fine. Have just cut out my first part.

Thanks for your reply, sure I will have plenty of more newbie questions to follow.

Cheers
