    Problem with Fastcam software

    Hi,
    I am using only recently FASTCAM 510 for my plasma cnc and until now I had no problems.
    I am having trouble converting this artwork DXF (I'm sending this file attached) files from here to machine code!
    The problem is when I bring the DXF file into FastCam. It sees a lot of the lines with breaks in them, so the cutting path keeps getting interrupted.
    The contour is closed, but the head lat jumps from one to the other side of the boundary, cutting hundreds of small portions of the drawing...
    I downloaded SheetCAM, to try, and it does not seem to have a problem in SheetCAM. I sent it to a friend who had Trumpf laser cutting. Np problem even with his TruTops software.

    Is there someone who uses fastcam and maybe have more experience, to give me some tips?
    Someone who uses other software has ever had similar problems?

    Thanks,
    Mark.
