    Hi all,
    I have problem with DXF files generated from SolidWorks. For example:
    Simple projects - two circles:
    upload_2020-12-20_18-12-29.png


    When I export this design to DXF format, and then upload this file to OpenBuilds Cam it looks like this:


    upload_2020-12-20_18-13-57.png

    Why the circles are "open"? I try to change every options during exporting to DXF but it not working. Every file generated from SolidWorks is "open". Every lines have some short space.

    Do you have similar problems? How i can fix this?

    Even if I save as R14 or other R-versions, the lines are still open.

    Convert splines/arcs to Polylines. If SW cannot, add another tool like QCAD in between to convert everything to polylines
