Sheetcam Gone Crazy

Post by littlefatbuddy »

I have not one single clue what is going on here. A few months back one of the members shared a file that was a tattered American flag. This is that file. I downloaded it, copied to the thumb drive, and then put it in Sheetcam to cut. This picture is the screen after I created the operation???? It did the same thing with the dxf and the svg.

If it was the one posted in Jan, "American Flag Tattered.dxf", that dxf needs a little work. When I look at it in Sheetcam, there are a lot of open lines touching that are not joined, so there is no clear outer cut. I suspect those lines just drove Sheetcam nuts. I'd probably do some editing on the dxf before importing it to Sheetcam.
