Dashed Construction Lines in LaserCAD.

Post by thejuggernaut »

I have used construction lines in Solidworks to create perforated lines in acrylic that I can snap along. It worked great, but now any time I import a DXF with the dashed lines, it shows up as a solid line. I don't know what I changed, or if it was an update to LaserCAD. Also, any of my older pwj5 files still show the dashed lines. But, if I import the exact same DXF files I used to create those files, the lines are solid. I am running lasercad 7.92.12. Any settings suggestions?!

Regards,

Open your dxf in Corel draw and open LaserCad from there.

If it still doesn’t work save the file in Corel draw as a CD-R or dxf file then open LaserCad from Corel draw again.

I don't use corel draw. I draw and export directly from Solidworks 2017.
