Exporting a DXF

[Kevin Nelson]

I'm trying to export V-Carve 8 file as a dxf. I keep getting a 'Invalid Symbol Table Name' error. A dxf files is created but corrupt. Has anyone had this problem?

I've tried exporting a couple of files and they worked fine. At a guess I'd say it's an issue with layer naming but only Vectric would know for sure as it does sound like an error with the program/export library.

You could try removing any special characters, spaces etc from the layer names and see if that allows you to export. If the program you're supporting to supports it you could export as EPS instead as that has different rules for layer names.

Thanks for the tip. The issue was buried in the layer names. I was using the / within 2 layer names. Once I renamed them the export worked perfectly.
