Hi All,
I have a small issue with exporting DXF files into technical drawings then for cutting on a plasma cutter. This may be very simple but it is doing my head in trying to fix it.
When i draw a component with holes and send to technical drawing the circle has two points and this transfers to the Dxf fill to cut. Doesn’t happen on all parts, see screen shot. Clearly doing something wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I just use a sketch and export it to DXF when I need to make parts with my laser cutter.

Thanks for that little tip, i did that and it worked fine. Not sure what i was doing any different to i always do by exporting a Dxf from the 3D model but it seemed to be picking up on the 3d part and adding extra lines. Anyway thanks for that.
