This one was done with RasterFratz. Smoothness setting of 3.

Fred, can Rasterfratz create .dxf's that AutoCAD can open? ACAD 2002 couldn't open that one.

Gerry, do what you would do to open a DXF saved with Autocad rel 10,11,12,13,14, or 2000, but not in 2002. Maybe look for a file import or merge rather than a direct file open, which may be set to open DXF files created ONLY with rel 2002/2004/2005, etc.

I get an error message saying table flags missing on line 38 - invalid or incomplete .dxf

AutoCAD doesn't care what version it's opening. There are no options. You open a .dxf with the open command, and select .dxf in the file type box. Any version should open this way. I guess AutoCAD is more picky than most because it's their format. Does Rasterfratz have .dxf version options when saving or exporting?

I could not get it to work either, the second file that is. Has anyone tried wintopo ?

Apparently it does care whose version. ;-)

There are no DXF versioning options in Rasterfratz. I try to keep it at the current VectorCam level, but it may be out of synch now.

Try the attached file from Vector 10 and see if it will open. If it does, I will update the DXF template in Rasterfratz.

Yes, Fred, the Vector version opens fine. I tried the Rasterfratz one on my home computer and get the exact same error I got at work.

[Spezzaferro]

just wondering if anyone had a problem opening the file
i posted
Thanks

[qsacracer]

I tried it and could not open it.....

[kenlambert]

I opened it in bobcad and Cadstd with no problems

[sendkeys]

opened in solidworks fine too :P

[qsacracer]

I tried to import into Cad Std and it would not open it....Hmm...

The one that spezzaferro did is the only one I can't open...
