need help with drawing

Post by Jason@bc »

Hi all, here is a drwng that I've edited to make into a coat-rack, but in sheetcam it keeps telling me I have open lines,
I can't find nothing when I go back into my drwng program, could someone maybe help me? thanks in advance.

Coat Rack

Depending on your lead-in it might be a little tight in spots but here it is joined up and cleaned up.

It looks like you were working on two different layers in your drawing. When I pulled it into sheetcam, I got two different layers. When I turned off one of the layers, this is what it looked like.

I get this a lot with my students where they import a dxf, and Rhino places that on a separate layer. They have to go in and change the imported image to the main layer.

Just a little tip in SheetCam When you plan a cut operation and you have a drawing that has an open place, you can find it by going to the change start location function, if it will not move its an open loop, it the start can be moved its closed. Also if you change layers on parts of a drawing and then uncheck the new layer it will go away and you can find if there are thing hidden under it, like the dots in the drawing above.
the g-code will do funny things if you have these hidden dots :oops: :lol:
