SolidWorks drawing to DXF export problem
SolidWorks drawing to DXF export problem
(OP)
Hi All,
When I export a solidworks drawing as a .dxf file. The Arcs and Circles in the solidworks drawing are replaced by a series of small flats following the contour of the line. Is there anything I can do to avoid this problem?
Our CNC machines are running Mastercam 8.1 and read the .dxf files as their input.
I have heard of Mastercam direct for solidworks, does this avoid the problem?
Regards,

If I don't use the "regen" command the circles will look like octagons, and they will be read that way by our machines. Use "regen" and they all turn into circles.
