this file crashes lasercad upon import

[andyseubert]

it's a dxf file exported from cambam. delete the .zip extension from the filename. It's not zipped..

Any suggestion why this happens and how I might fix it ?

Thanks

I don't know what was wrong with it.

Here it is as ai

Thanks,
I got it to work by opening the dxf in autocad then saving it from there to dxf again. Then lasercad would open it.

I also have had no luck opening .ai files directly from lasercad. Is there a trick?

DXF's from illustrator always works if you do the following:

Release clipping mask
Release compound path
Ungroup all

Some of the above sometimes have to be done several times

Have LaserCAD open and "Import" the file.

Have LaserCAD open and "Import" the file.

It is not possible to File>Open a .ai file so yes, "import" fails mostly.

HI
yes this is something for marco to look in I try this too even if in the supported file .ai is there it will tell "parsing" but then nothing comes up.
maybe lin can fix it.
