trace path to create dxf file

Asked by Trevor Johnson

when I use trace path to create a dxf file, the image in the preview screen looks great, however, when I open the dxf file there are very few line segments created.

What setting do I need to adjust to get all the line segments saved into the dxf file?
thanks, Trevor

I've experimented and have been able to make setting adjustments to get more than half the nodes, but cannot bring in the entire image.

Hello Trevor,

Could you please give a link to your file?
The dxf export works fine for me even with default trace options..
I use Inkscape 0.47pre and AutoCAD2006.

Cheerz, Oleg

Thanks Oleg.. here is the image and the best dxf I can create.

I am using the DWGeditor provided with SolidWorks.
I plan on importing the dxf into SolidWorks and creating a lasercut path to cut out the image.
Trevor.

hi again, Trevor,
'Answers' section on Launchpad couldn't handle files directly (unfortunately!)
Please, host it somewhere (fileshare) and give links
p.s. afair SW work with dxf directly, is it?

Best wishes, Oleg
