    Have your boss pay for some training from SCM.

    Seriously.

    So many people buy these machines, but are too cheap to pay for training, so the machine ends up not being nearly as efficient as it could be.

    To open an AutoCAD DXF file in Xilog Plus, you must create the geometry (line, arc, circle, or polyline) at the origin x0, y0 of UCS Autocad

    there is an import command in maestro. but I think not all things can be imported.. I tried array in autocad it didn't get import correctly

    The Xilog read only line, arc, circle and polyline, drawing in the zero for te UCS.
