Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] G-code problem

Hi Al,

Vector CAD/CAM can import DXF's, but not the CAD-only vers. If you have
a simple file with polylines, and possibly another one with splines, I
or someone could try an import into Vector CAD/CAM and let you know how
it goes (I seem to be digging into DXF's at the moment)!

To learn Vector, follow all the examples in the fine manual (print it
out if you need to), and get the feel for how each line is a vector,
I.E., has direction as well as a pair of endpoints. Kinda like thinking
of your "cuts" as you go along. I enjoy it!
