Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Excaliburcnc by XCAM

FlashCut won't allow you to import a QuickCad generated DXF ?? I just did it
from AutoSketch 7 using the Lite98 DXF "save As" filter. (sure wish they'd bring
back Export commands) It worked fine, No problems. QC and AS are the same as
best I could ever tell. There were some early versions, mostly beta, that had a
problem importing DXF circles. That was fixed long ago.

What DXF output did you use ? AS has 3 different DXF output possibilities.

Btw, QC and AS are another example of a best kept secret. I use AS with Sensiva
(sensiva.com). I love the look on seasoned AutoCad users when the sit down and
watch me modify or create a drawing. Short of Ashlar, AS (andQC) may be the
fastest 2d cad programs available when coupled with Sensiva. (sensivas newer
versions have been a bit buggy, I use an older one)
