Do you have the correct extension *.dxf selected in the file open dialog ?

Do you have unchecked from the menu :

Options -> Application Options -> Annoying dialogs : Import Drawing ?

Have a look here :

Les explained it

Richard

I can see both layers in the layer list of the CAD but trying to show them fails so as if they would be empty.

All other layers I can activate or deactivate

Rich

In the Drawing Options Dialog check the option ' use points for drilling '.

Then the missing layers appear.

Richard

I see 3 layers :

Layer 0
Layer fase
Layer rastscheibe

Are this all ?

Edit: CAD program shows M3 and M5 thread but not SheetCAM

Richard

Compare the 'Minimum GCode abs arcs' and the 'Minimum GCode no arcs' PP

In the function OnInit() also look for minArcSize = 0.05 --arcs smaller than this are converted to moves

Richard

You can edit the post processor . From the Post documentation file : ArcAsMoves(Tolerance) Perform the current arc as a series of short linear moves. This should only be called from the onArc() event. Tolerance is the maximum deviation in millimetres from a true arc.All other parameters are optional...

There's a download link here for autotrace

http://sourceforge.net/projects/autotrace/

and a gui for it here :

Also have a look here :

Hope this helps

Richard

Do you know AUTOTRACE ?

http://autotrace.sourceforge.net/

Richard

You might give QCAD or A9CAD a try . Both for windows and no charge. Perhaps you have success.

Richard

Using a different software the duplicate vectors you can see in the screenshot in the red rectangle.

Importing your drawing in SheetCAM removed as duplicate vectors all those in the red rectangle.

Richard

Don't use Illustrator but maybe you're using more than one layer and so you might have duplicate vectors on different layers you don't see but SheeCAM ?

Could you upload a drawing bringing this message ?

Richard

Have a look here : http://wiki.evilmadscientist.com/Post_p ... ace_bitmap

Perhaps you can trace smoother

Richard

Could you upload your drawing to try it , too ?

Thanks

Richard
