I have a program which makes the file:
aexport (1).dxf (884 Bytes)
which opens as expected in LibreCAD:
except it is possible to select each individual line segment/arc:
and when imported into Carbide Create, it comes in as an open/unclosed figure:
How can one structure this DXF, or represent a rounded rectangle so that it is a single closed object?
The solution is:
0
SECTION
2
ENTITIES
0
LWPOLYLINE
5
4E
100
AcDbEntity
8
0
6
ByLayer
8
Layer_Black
62
256
370
-1
100
AcDbPolyline
90
8
70
1
43
0
Or select all segments then go to menu Tools ā Polyline ā Create Polyline from existing Segments?
aeexport-polyline.dxf (16.0 KB)
Iām trying to make this programmatically to begin with.
ah, I thought you were trying to fix it. Indeed, starting with a polyline to begin with is the best way to make a closed design. Same technique applies to SVG designs and laser cutting.
