Hi Guys, Just got my SB up and running and seems okay so thought I would try a DXF created in Corel Draw. But I have 2 problems. 1. The cut file created after conversion is too small. and 2. It wants to cut off the table - all the positions are "-". I am sure this is easily fixed... can anyone help? Richard

Richard;

I may be able to help if I can see the original DXF file.

First couple lines of code tell me your object is positioned off the table: (unless you are starting your cut at the upper RH corner)

J2,-44.0241,-18.7416
MZ,-1.0000
M2,-44.0241,-19.1996

And how much too small?

Are you creating toolpaths in Parts Wizard by selecting the profile option, or are you doing a "machine along path"?

I just realized... are you using Parts Wizard? Or are you converting dxf's to toolpaths in the shopbot control software?
