    CamBam toolpath generation issue

    I have a 2d part I would like to cut out, but I am having problems generating the correct tool path. The issue is with cutting out certain shapes. I have the profile cut to do an inside cut. Most of the shapes look correct, but some shapes appear that the arcs are being cut on the inside, and the lines are being cut from the outside.

    The file I'm using is a dxf file exported from Solidworks. The screenshot I'm posting illustrates the issue to a tee.

    You probably want to select all and then join

    ctrl-A to select all
    ctrl-J to join.


    you'll get a pop up that asks for a number. Give it something like .01

    The profile operations should work after that. You may need to redo the profiles.

    I'd be nice to have it automatically do a join for me when I load a dxf.
