Sheetcam Gone Crazy

Post by littlefatbuddy »

I have not one single clue what is going on here. A few months back one of the members shared a file that was a tattered American flag. This is that file. I downloaded it, copied to the thumb drive, and then put it in Sheetcam to cut. This picture is the screen after I created the operation???? It did the same thing with the dxf and the svg.

You currently do not have access to download this file.

If it was the one posted in Jan, "American Flag Tattered.dxf", that dxf needs a little work. When I look at it in Sheetcam, there are a lot of open lines touching that are not joined, so there is no clear outer cut. I suspect those lines just drove Sheetcam nuts. I'd probably do some editing on the dxf before importing it to Sheetcam.
