Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: cleaning up a dxf file?

Is the *.dxf file a rendering of a surface? If so, many programs will
simply break up the smooth curves into a bunch of very tiny
straight-line segments. Very often, these segments don't meet at the
endpoints since the math involved doesn't place the endpoints where they
should theoretically be. If this be the case, try to convert the surface
moves into line segments before exporting as a DXF file. HTH
