    Question trouble saving rhino file to useable DXF

    I'm in rhino and i have an outline of a panther that i want to cut on cnc router using deskcnc. I am able to save the file as dxf and i am able to open it in deskcnc but only some of the outlines in the panthers face will be as closed islands and most will be open enties. Yet when i go back to rhino all the lines are closed. What am I doing wrong? Thanks Brady

    Brady,

    When you save as a DXF there are many options to set that will affect the way the file is translated to DXF. Play with them and I am sure you will find a way to get it to output what you need. When exporting a window will pop up that asks what format. Hit thed edit schemes tab and output all geometry as polylines. I think that will work for you.


    GOOD LUCK !!!!
