We have enroute 5.1 software and we been having problems the last few months importing DXF or DWG files. They come over with just the template and not the drawings. I am told it is drawn from fusion 360 program. I tried saving it in a different verision from truview and still same problem. Talked to SAI enroute people and want to sell me newer program. This is no fun. tom
What Autocad DXF versions have you tried? I usually have good luck importing into Enroute using the R14 and R11 DXF versions. If you have another program that can open the files have you tried using it to convert to a different file format all together. Enroute 5.1 will probably struggle with most any file format newer than about 2015.
Just playing in CNCzone forums this evening and stumbled on your post from back in May. Have you sorted this yet?Quote:

You can import STL's but they will not be as accurate after you make Base reliefs from them. But they might be good enough for what you are doing. But generally you need the older version of DXF's and DWG's. I'm talking 2000 or R12 version of these file formats. Newer software has all kinds of extra stuff in the file that Enroute can't read and mixes it up.Quote:
