I guess I'm just a little at a loss as to why you would ever export as a dxf when heading toward a cutter. a 20mm X 20mm rectangle gets shown as 23 mm X 23mm with the job percentage still 100%.
In the dialog box shown by dwp99 ,for the production manager, on the sheet size page, I noticed that the job percentage is 100%, but still job exported from Flexi sign to production manager changes size, i.e. In the dialog box shown by dwp99, for the production manager, on the sheet size page, I noticed that the job percentage is 100%, but still job exported from Flexi sign to production manager changes size, i.e. However, I noticed something strange in the production manager: It can be easily checked as a SPLINE cannot be measured using DIMDIA command in autocad, however, an ARC or POLYLINE can be.
It does work and the DXF file you get from FLEXI SIGN consists of POLYLINES not SPLINES. I use this method in order to make the artwork readable by the prog. I also work as a CNC flatbed router machinist in signage field and have been using a program for windows 95 for programming CNC routers. If artwork is exported from illustrator straightaway as dxf file, it changes into splines, however I tried saving as AI in illustrator then opening in flexi sign and exporting as dxf. I tried this option and it does complete one letter now. Mz SKEETER Yes buddy, it is Flexi Starter Basic v 10Īlso, try exporting it as dxf into autocad, change all broken exploded lines to polylines using PEDIT command followed by JOIN as option and selecting whatever area you want to join. I bought a special plug-in to weld them all together since I often do file conversions and have to work with DXF's.ĭwp99: sure I will try playing around with this box. I have seen a lot of weird results when dealing with DXF files because those types of cad files are typically spline style arcs and often (if not always) have each individual segment a separate object, speaking from importing them into Illustrator at least. As to half a letter I tend to think like the others that there may be an unclosed object that the program thinks are two separate. I stopped worrying about that stacking order once I got my servo cutter but used it quite a lot with my budget machine. This would allow the cut to progress though a long series of text from one letter to the next without hopping around which would sometimes through the P-Cut out of tracking. I draw in Adobe Illustrator and Cut with SingCut Pro so I don't know anything about flexi but when I had my P-Cut I would stack the lettering or design in a particular order within the layer stacking order and SingCut Pro would cut them in that order.
