possible strange issues

Post by stankern »

Not sure which update has done this but I am getting file distortion when I convert from aspire format to *.dxf on an older machine
running xp pro and co2 laser software
The file looks good on the screen but when I cut it its distorted.
I always do this method and in the last few weeks we have been having issues with aspire files converting to *.dxf

Have you re-imported the DXF file and checked it against the original vectors?

I'm not sure I understand what could be preventing you from exporting a DXF file from Aspire and then immediately importing that DXF file into the same Aspire file to see if the imported geometry is the equivalent to the existing geometry in that Aspire file. The machine you eventually want to use the DXF file with should have no bearing on this.
