    I use Solidworks for my modeling. I create a dxf from SW and when I open it in the Open Builds program, all the radii are inverted. I've tried R12, R14, R18, etc... I have changed export all spline as polylines with no success. So I was searching for dxf to gcode and found the sketchucam. Sounds great. I used the free version of sketchup and can't figure out how to get sketchucam to load into the sketchup program. Any one have tips for me. In the tutorials, my sketchup doesn't look anything like their sketchup window. Do I have to have the Pro version?

    Must be R14 Polyline: docs:software:file-errors [OpenBuilds Documentation]

    Sometimes just easier to drop it into QCAD, convert everything to polyline, then save-as R14. The advanced CADs sometimes ignores your wish to create polylines and keeps some entities as splines or arcs.
