1. I'm using the demo ver. of sheetcam and Mack3
2. Drawings are made in CorelDraw
3. Have use stock dfx files to test
Here is the problem....When I generate the machine code and open in Mach 3, in the background there are circles? Now, I have no layering in sheetcam that I'm aware of. Also, by importing dfx files that others have drawn, I have eliminated it being a Corel Draw problem. The circles are not seen in sheetcam only the drawing...In this case the letter F which, is what make this so confusing.
If you have not guessed it yet, I'm new to this trying to accelerate the learning curve before my Plasma table is built.
I will include the code to a simple F and maybe you can see the problem?
The more I use the demo, the more circles show up??? :withstupi
Thanks,
Mick
