    Will not generate all of the tool paths/lines for this DXF art file? Please Help!

    I can't seem to get all of the tool path (lines,curves etc..) generated for this DXF art file when I do a "engrave" machine operation. After editing and configuring mops, The center of the design and misc parts/lines only get generated the rest are left out. If someone could please chime in, that would be most appreciated.

    Thanks, Robert
    P.S. I use Rhino for all my Cad. I've had no issues with any other DXF but this one. ???

    Enter the confirmation key on the right when it prompts and just use the regular download speed. Its only takes a few seconds if that.

    I can't find any problems here... I tried CamBam plus and CamBam free and both seemed to create all the toolpath segments OK.

    I did join all the segments together (CTRL+A, then CTRL+J), but the toolpaths would generate OK before this.

    If you can upload a problem CamBam (.cb) file, I will do some more investigation.

    Sorry for the long delay, problem solved. Thank you very much indeed
    I changed save file {dxf} (in Rhino) from : default to polylines 2004 and it works perfect. Will now recognize all the polylines/lines/curves in DXF drawing when I generate toolpaths in Cambam(Sweet!). Now I can go engrave some stuff. Awesome product and great service, thanks again.
