So, Ive got clipped corners again exporting from Corel X6 16.4.1281 to dxf and opening in SheetCam 6.0.15. See the pic as the file is displayed in SheetCam.
It was suggested some time back, when I first had this problem, to export in svg format and then import that svg in SheetCam. I couldn't get it to work then and same problem with this file today ...... what am I doing wrong? Pic shows what my svg file opens as in SheetCam .... total junk.
And .... here's the cdr file too.

You could try exporting in a PTL file, and see if the same thing happens to it?

Re: Corel X6 clipped corners ..... again .... ugh .... dxf / svg
Are you using the latest version of sheetcam?
I used to get that a lot with Corel dxf's, just recently I don't see it at all exporting to R14 seems good, tried your file there and it's perfect in sheetcam.
I am using X7 of Corel, not sure if that makes any difference I seem to remember seeing in Sheetcam 'recent changes' a mention about this so maybe it's been improved on.

Re: Corel X6 clipped corners ..... again .... ugh .... dxf / svg
I was using X7, and downgraded to X6 just to try the DXFTool add on linked above. I've got to say...it's pretty awesome. I'm very impressed with the difference. I'm currently using the 30 day free trial of the Professional version, and I plan on purchasing at the end of the trial.
I also try to import into sheetcam using svg, and I typically have good luck with that. I've run into a couple of occasions where I have to use DXF, though, and the files are getting distorted.
Make sure you are scaling correctly when you import into sheetcam. Try importing as both metric and inch versions. I've found importing the wrong scale can really butcher the drawing.
I forgot about the Sheetcam update supposedly fixing the DXF conversion issue. I may give the upgrade a shot again.
