The CNC machine can do better than the crude approximation the draft workbench gives.Īidan Williamson ( talk) 01:43, 8 December 2019 (UTC)

Manage these Designs by using the +, -, and X Icons.The issue with the draft-> Shape2DView is that it doesn't produce good circles. It is possible to import multiple Designs, or the same Design multiple times in one Cut File. Such as cut path selection and tab placement.Ĭheck for dangling or default Cut Groups. Overlapping Cut Groups may not be visible but may cause issues. Holes less than 1.5mm will be treated as pierce ( auto-pierce).ĭouble lines mean double cutting and will be a waste of time and resources (abrasive). Unconnected line segments less than 0.0001 inch long are deleted. If a path start and path end are less than 0.0020 inches apart, WAM will merge the points and treat the path as closed. If path fragments are 0.0010 inches apart or less, WAM will merge the fragments into a single path. Import File Checklist:Ĭonvert all desired cut edges from objects to path.

If you SVG does not load in WAM, please refer to this page for more information about how to generate SVG from various design software. Make sure the document units are set to physical units and not pixels. If you DXF does not load in WAM, please refer to this page for more information about how to generate DXF from various design software.ĢD Vector file that most design software will export.Įnsure that the output format for files is set to Plain SVG.Īll shapes, objects, text need to be converted to paths. WAM tries to infer the correct units, but if it cannot, the part will default to inches. dxf library supports arcs, circles, ellipses, lines, polylines, and splines.Īll text must be converted to vector paths.ĭesigns on multiple layers must collapse into one Import File Compatibilities:ĢD file type that most engineering and design software will export. This guide also teaches you how to manipulate the features as you expect. Moreover, you might have noticed that sometimes you can drag different cut features independent to others, but sometimes you cannot. This guide will teach you how to prepare the DXF and SVG files so you will never see this problem again. However, you probably have noticed that some design files may not work in WAM.
