fastcam recognizes circles as polygons
Need Answer
fastcam recognizes curves as small connecting lines, therefore the cut is not smooth in circles and curves. Thanks for the help
I work with the Corel Draw program for the vectorization of images and cutting patterns in CNC Plasma, in the design range the curves look good, just like when I export to DXF, I review in AUTOCAD and the splines look good and with the curvature, when I insert it into fastcam to generate the g code, the circles and curves look polygonal
Are you working with FastCAM7 or FastCAM8?
In FastCAM8 there is selection of coarse / standard / fine conversion of splines.
In FastCAM7 it is just one fixed level of conversion.
As you have AutoCAD, you can also investigate the AutoCAD feature to explode and break the spline object into lines + arcs.
