I have another DXF and I'm not sure where the resolution problem is coming from...it could be the monitor, but when I import the file has jagged lines and the arc that is highlighted should be closed by the adjacent curve - it seems to extend beyond so I can not create a pocket.
I have included a picture and the file. I have tries several option during the export - different versions 13 & 14, exporting as curves and splines; no difference in CNC12

Hello. Keith

I am new to the forum, and I have seen the videos of the import of the
dxf files and in my system acorns 12v4.50 I do not see the
DXF key how can I fix this problem.
Regards.

Looks like this is probably some setting in your CAD system on how it does circles.

I opened his DXF file in a text editor, and in Visual CADD. It does contain circles, not polygons.

Hello. Marty.

I am trying to run my mill converted to cnc with centroid version 12v .5 software and using the fusion 360 post processor.
I already generated a cam in fusion to run with the probe in a fixture
everything is fine but I can't generate the G codes for centroid
could you support me
Attached I send screenshots and a video of how the program runs in fusion 360, but I cannot generate the G codes
for centroid.
greetings and I hope your prompt help.
Judah.

I have no experience with your software. Your question are software specific.
