When I attempt to export DXF files of my sketches and upload them to our CNC Quilter, I get the following error: “Error: Exception of type System.NullReferenceException was thrown.” I am working with the quilter company to better define the error, but dutch I discovered that the SHAPR3D files allow for extremely large axes (+/- 1x10E20) in all three directions. In the text version of the .dxf file, this is called $extmin and $extmax, I have uploaded a screenshot of three files the first two are mine, and the third is from our supplier of the machine. My question is can I make an adjustment inside SHAPR3D to limit these quantities?

Disregard this request. The issue was a conflict in Sketch Name with the CNC’s software.
