Hi Michael,

Thanks so far. Your tip with breaking all the elements up helped and now the exported DXF is rendered correctly. But I have to make sure if the CAM can use such a DXF file containing only separate elements.

Nevertheless, I've uploaded you the Rhino export, too.

On this topic also - is there a tool in MOI to convert splines into ARC for the purpose of laser cutting as some LASER guys still cant handle splines I currently send to RHINO and convert in RHINO have searched forum but cant find any scripts for same task.

Thanks
Alex.

Hi 3image, thanks for posting the Rhino DXF file. The Rhino file has general SPLINE entities in it, but they are all separated out as one separate entity for each individual arc and line, and they are not being rebuilt as cubics. So yes, using the Edit > Separate step in MoI should give you a similar output from MOI.

Sorry, no MoI doesn't have any tool in it to fit a series of arcs along a general spline curve. I'd recommend using Rhino for that particular type of conversion as you are currently doing.

The other thing that would probably work directly from MoI would be to use the option for "Write curves as: Polylines" from the DXF export options.
