    Hello, new here so thanks in advance for the patience and knowledge sharing. I am saving a solids works drawing to an dxf file to create the gcode using the CAM software. When the file is saved all looks good. However, when opened in Cam a radius is inverted. Can someone tell me why this is happening and how to correct it? Thanks again

    I am getting an error when trying to upload a pic.

    Either I do not know what I am doing or some squirrely [profanity removed] is going on. So I have redrawn this a few times with the same outcome. I have four corners that I fillet with the same radius. 3 of them show up fine in CAM with and the bottom right one always shows as an inverted curve with the same radius. By the way, they all save fine and look accurate when saving as DXF file in Solidworks. Any other ideas?
