    Agreed. I have referred that back to the designer. Not going to cut any more 'till it is clarified.

    Hi,

    Very neat. What software did you use from dxf on?

    I am using a 3020, and just starting to use CamBam.

    Cheers

    I use "Artcam express" for drawing and "Mach3" for cutting.
    Artcam can load dxf files

    No. Just the sides. Some sort of modification of an existing part.
