jmurray Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I am using VW 12.5 and trying to export a .dxf for my Composer software in order for my Gerber 3d Router to cut the shapes. Ever time I do so the wrong size will appear when opened in Composer, and sometimes it won't even open. Anyone have any similar issues, or know what I am doing wrong. Quote Link to comment
Charlie_P Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Does the same thing happen when exported as a text .dxf or a binary? As to scaling, generally speaking it's best to set up the parts to be exported in a new file with the layer scale at 1:1 and the units on the same as whatever you're exporting to. If Composer is happy in cm set VW to cm before exporting. Use an old version of .dxf - version 12 for instance, as there's less chance of misinterpretation. If V12 is too old then work up through the versions to find the oldest that will do the job. Quote Link to comment
