Re: Problem opening DXF from AutoD Inventor
You are very welcome! I drew the tiny lines in where you put the arrows, and yes, they are single cuts from the laser :) It is very accurate, the machine is accurate to 1/40mm in both the "X" and "Y" axis (1,600 points per square millimeter), which is actually more accurate than ...

Re: Problem opening DXF from AutoD Inventor
Hi, sorry for the very late reply! I have been busy for the last little while. I have attached a couple photos of your lantern, it took my machine about 8 minutes to cut. :) I used a red card stock, and the entire lantern weighs 6 grams. Follow these links for the photos :) https://drive.google.com/...

Re: Problem opening DXF from AutoD Inventor
Thank you for the update! I'll be sure to check it out! Ahh, I thought that link would be helpful. Your comment about it being a 3D drill is a very good way to describe it! You are welcome! I do not need a dxf, I just need the svg drawing. If you draw in inkscape, and the line weight is 0.1mm-0.2mm,...

Re: Problem opening DXF from AutoD Inventor
Thanks! I've built a machine, and while I wait for parts upgrades to arrive, I've using my time to of course build a separate machine. My plight with Inkscape was to accurately cut CAD drawings, instead of "outlining" and cutting a bitmap image, which is great from an artistic standpoint, ...

Re: Problem opening DXF from AutoD Inventor
For sure! I totally understand, I had huge jealousy of people that has access to these fancy machines, which drove me to actually build myself my own laser cutter... which was a long journey and a lot of fun. These gears you helped me with are the start of my next machine build, a CNC router. :) If ...

Re: Problem opening DXF from AutoD Inventor
You are a wizard! I replaced dxf_input.py withe the one that you attached, and received the correct error message, and went through the process with LibreCad, and everything works like a charm! I'm able to take DXF files from Inventor>LibreCad>Inkscape with no issues now, and create accurate cut pat...

Re: Problem opening DXF from AutoD Inventor
Hi there @Moini,
I just changed laptops, so 0.92.1 is the only version that has been installed on here.
I've included the DXF file I was trying to work with, along with the other two files you asked for.

Problem opening DXF from AutoD Inventor
Hi there, I'm trying to open a DXF file, exported from Inventor. When I attempt to open it (not import, although neither seem to work), I get the error message: - Traceback (most recent call last): File "dxf_input.py", line 530, in <module> inkex.errormsg(_('%d ENTITIES of type POLYLINE en...
