Post by Hunterland »

Hi guys I am having a problem with these dxf files and I get the error in the process that I have attached and if I say yes to the error it only gives me what I also have attached. the client is sending the files and the logo she wants I also attached . Does anyone know why it is doing this? thanks for any and all help

The images are nearly 300 inches across. Here is what I got when I imported and resized the vectors.

There are a number of open vectors so it will take some work to get it into a V-carve-able format.

Thank you but so I understand how and why , how did you import it ? I tried to import vectors from each but would get that error? Do I need to change a setting on aspire so I don't get the error message. Thanks again for your help. Don

I just ignored the error message. (Clicked Yes)

1. Create new project
2. import vectors and ignore error message
3. Press F9 to center the image
4. Under Transform Objects select the icon to resize the vectors

Given what the object is I wonder if the original was in metric (i.e. 300mm or ~12 inches)?

For some reason it was stripping the type of font that she was sending me. The client is very very lets say picky about every detail. To the point of obsession What is sad is that this is a 3 inch logo, on 100.00 dollar plaque. I was going to upload the final pic but because I had put the file on 50x so she could get over zooming in on every pixel.it is 2.5 mg.I will know better next time. But thanks again for the help.
