    So I'm new to open builds cam and I'm having a problem with open vectors popping up in circles/holes in open builds cam. I've attached pictures of the the circles in fusion and open builds cam. Ive previously had the same part laser cut, from the same dxf file with no problems. There is no gap when imported into the lasers cam software, so i have no idea where the problem is coming from. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Export as DXF PolyLine R14 format. Newer version of the DXF format has not been as well reverse-engineered as the older R14 spec

    Polyline conversion is done in the CAD workspace inside QCAD: Search Results for Query: Qcad polyline from selection | OpenBuilds
    Then save as R14 DXF
