This DXF wont work

Post by Buggermanators »

I'm trying to cut these for my crossfit class but for some reason the DXF seems to be the wrong type ???? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone know why? I thought that all DXF's were the same.

Thanks Greg

I couldn't get them to load in Inkscape. Some error about poly lines. I loaded them in Corel X8 and Saved them as DXF. I have issues with some .DXF files. Not sure if it's because of all of the different versions or not. Anyway. These load into Inkscape now. Let me know if you still have issues and we will try something else.

Anyone know why there are so many issues with .dxf format? The files I supplied were clean and properly sized when I saved them out of Inkscape. When I open them back up, they are segmented, need smoothing and are way out of scale. When I call them up in Corel, they are segmented and have extra lines in them as well as out of scale. Very frustrating :evil: . I try to only work with .svg format because I don't see these type of issues. Is there something that I'm missing or do you guys see these issues too?

I use Illustrator and AutoCad to do all of my drawings. I don't ever have any of those issues.

I tried opening the file from TTS but they wouldn't. What am I doing wrong or what should I be opening them in. Autocad wouldn't let me.

Solid edge will open the first one, if you can get rid of the fill there are a lot of errors.

With Inkscape there are 2 way DXF files can be saved, see attached screen shot. I'm not expert but I have see what you are talking about.
Maybe some with more smarts can tell what the difference is and which you should use.

When I download the Shipyard DXF it doesn't load correctly so, I imported the DXF file into Inkscape saved it as a DXF and only had one line that didn't belong. Removed it and here it is.
