DXF Import of SPLINE entities and convert to Gerber.
1 Comment
[QUOTE]I get an error message when I try to import my DXF which has (non-bezier) SPLINE entities. What can I do?[/QUOTE]
FAB 3000 does not convert (non-bezier) SPLINE entities to Gerber, which is the reason for the error message.
Workaround: Simply export your DXF or DWG from your AutoCAD (or Free Draftsight CAD tool) as an older AutoCAD 12 format. The older DXF and DWG formats do not support spline entities, thus will convert to Polylines which FAB 3000 can convert easily.
