I have a problem with a dxf file:
it should look like first photo but instead the frame is loaded to the right…
Saved as dxf from Autocad 2013. Latest LW3 after git pull.
Saved as dxf 2007…dxf 2000, still the same.
Help please.
Looks to me like the square part might have some geometry tied to that block off to the left of it. So it is pushing it to the right to index that superfluous geometry into the building area.
If you are forming the square part as a block, try exploding it and recombine just the geometry you want to keep with the pedit command joining the connected lines/curves.
+Peter van der Walt @Eclsnowman No hidden geometry. Flattened all to one layer. Still the same.
can you repost the link to the dxf. You must have deleted the old file
@Mircea_Russu Removed your egroups, exploded your polylines, replaced multisegmented straight sections with single straight lines, pedited the paths into polylines (only polyline connected paths and use pedit->multiple->select_segments->join->set_tolerance for join->enter). Then I created layers for each type of geometry (outer cut, inner cut). I opened it in laserweb on my laptop. Woked for me.

Thank you very much! I shall try to do it myself. I want to be able to do it in the future.
@Mircea_Russu It is great to see that you are willing to learn how to do things yourself, instead of just relying on others to do it for you. Too many users are not willing to read and learn, or figure the solution to a problem is to throw money at it. We need more users like you!
@Mircea_Russu if you run into questions be sure to ask.
I had the same issue with DXF from ArtCAM but changed all paths to the same winding direction (all clockwise or all counterclockwise) and they worked. ArtCAM’s parent company is Autocad so it might be similarly simple even if other methods work. If even one path was reversed the image mirrored on the x axis.
