CNC Toolpath Issue

[AndrewB]

I've created a guitar headstock logo in .SKF format, and it looks fine.  However, when I convert it to .DXF and try to create a CNC cutting path it shows big gaps in the pattern.  I've tried to work out where the lines aren't connecting by filling in pattern in sections, but the results are inconsistent.  Sometimes a section will fill or two sections will fill individually, and then when I remove the barrier between them they no longer work.

I'm using an older version on Windows 11, so I've read some things that suggest it might be a compatibility issue.

Can anyone assist, or suggest a way for me to resolve this?

Do you have AutoSketch?

 

What program are you using to make the cutting path?

 

What file types can you save as or export?

 

You may have to just redraw everything in a more compatible, newer CAD software.

 

Many have a free trial.

 

What compatibility mode are you running it in?

 

You might try an older Windows in an older computer or a virtual box, if you feel that could be the issue.
