    Mirrored DXF

    https://ufile.io/zsdoj

    When inserting this particular DXF in alphacam (2016 r2 64bit ver:15.5.0.133) elements of it are mirrored over other elements.



    When trying to open same file with any other CAD software (autocad, qcad, viewer.autodesk.com), the whole drawing is mirrored not only parts. No matter what i do from here, when inserting the dxf in alphacam is still wrong.


    The client from where i got this file, swear on his screen the drawing is not mirrored.

    Can somebody please explain why alphacam has problems when inserting this dxf? ( They sent me different dxf and dwg versions all with the same issue)
    Thanks guys!

    I have had this happen with other CAM programs also. It seems to occur when there are blocks or especially rotated or mirrored blocks in the original drawing. Normally the fix is to explode the drawing before saving as a DXF.
