paddynel0 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Hi all. am using AutoCAD 07. (A dinosaur i now) along with solid-works. For some reason i cant get the file to extrude in solid-works as it says end point is wrongly shared by multiple entities, and cant find the problem in AutoCAD ether. Iv attached the file hopefully one of you guys can see where am going wrong. angel1.DXF Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cad64 Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 I ran the OVERKILL command on your drawing. It found and deleted 25 duplicates and 4 overlapping objects. I don't use Solidworks, so I don't know if that's what's causing the problem, but I see that all of your polylines are individual line segments, not continuous polylines like I would expect. You may need to join your polylines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I had a lot of items that were removed when I ran it through the clean up tool for the water jet. And as stated by Cad64, it is made up of lots of lines, it looks like it was made (poorly) for some sort of cutter. What is the need for extruding?

paddynel0 Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 I would mostly use solid works so extruding it is may way of making sure it will cut ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paddynel0 Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 This was a bitmap trace from google image so that's why it was poor quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Do you have any cleanup tools that came with your cutter? What cutter are you using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLW210 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Here is the cleaned up file, see if this works. angel1_imported.dxf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
