I can not get any DXF files I create on Auto-Cad to import to Openbuilds CAM to open correctly. If I have a inside radius sometimes it will show that as inverted. This morning I am now having problems getting any file to load. I'm getting (An unknown error occured:TypeError: Cannot read property '*U2' of undefined) Also is there a way to only generate a tool path with no Z movement so it will do the path and not jump around
All toolpaths have z moves (clearance moves between cuts not to scrape the top surface). You can always find/replace the gcode afterwards to remove it DXF: R14 Polyline format. Convert splines and arcs to Polylines for maximum efficiency: see docs:software:file-errors [OpenBuilds Documentation]
I understand that z has to move up off the part, maybe I didn't ask the correct question. My concern is that it cuts one line at a time and wont chain lines together.
Is there a reason when generating g-code for TXT with openbuilds generator the path is all over the place? It goes from one end of the cut to the other and back and forth for example ATTITUDE it will do the hole in the D then the I then the E then all the way back to the hole in the A
Follows entity order in the source file (even internally generated text, is just generated by another tool) if you select multiple entities. Create seperate toolpaths for Full control over the cut ordering. For example, create the sections you want to cut first as the first toolpath, etc Or upgrade to a paid solution that has more automatic optimizations
