I work for a building supply company who produces custom granite countertops. I actually work as a computer technician, and I am only partially versed in the "Cad/CNC" part of things. My issue is this,
Often times customers request custom sink cut-outs. So far what I have done to meet this request is to obtain the .dxf files off the sink manufacturers website, and use that to work from. We have a vinyl template cutter that we use to produce a "template" from to compare to the actual physical sink and make sure things match up. We have a Cad program (AllenCad) for use with the Vinyl cutter and it has no problems opeing just about any .dxf file, however when I try to import it to the EasyCad program I get varied results. Sometimes the file will open and operate 100% correctly, sometimes the file will open and the drawing will have been scaled down to a miniscule size, sometimes the file will open and pieces of the drawing will be missing (I.E. curves, circles, complex angles, etc...), and other times the file opens and is completly blank.
Before anyone asks I do know how to zoom to the extents of the file, so I know it is actually blank. I am also aware that for a file to work in EasyCad, there must be no text included in the file. I have tried saving the files in several .dxf versions (R12, R13, R14, AutoCad2000/02, Autocad2004) and I have had little consitent luck.
Does anyone have any experience with this program? Can anyone give me some advice on how to properly import files to Z. Bavelloni's EasyCad program?
