Hi Ballendo;
Oops :-/ You're right, but when I try and import any BMP or JPG all I get is this F60.0000 G1 X0.000000 Y0.000000 Z5.000000 What's wrong ??? PeterC --- In mach1mach2cnc@..., "ballendo" <ballendo@y...> wrote: Peter,within MACH2 ?? |

Hi;
maybe I am not using it correctly, I could not find much in the help file. As there is no option to select .jpg or .bmp in the drop down file import (there's only hpg, plt or hp), I selected all files and chose a BMP Image cruickshank.com/picstuff/mr2sketch.bmp The width and height always change to -50000000 after I select a file, why is that ???, any way I set it to w324 x h120 which I assume is in the same units as my MACH2 which is mm. I have left the scale hpgl units at 40 as I am not sure what that does. The square box on the right just goes black, is the image supposed to be shown in there ?? Then when I import and save the file as a .tap file, there's only 3 lines of code created. What am ai Doing wrong ?? - I am using the very latest version. Thanx PeterC --- In mach1mach2cnc@..., Art <fenerty@a...> wrote: Hi Peter:did you select, and what size did you select when loading the bitmap?? |

Hi Art;
that fixed it, thanx. But now I have a similar problem importing .dxf files, here's what was created: (File dolphins.tap ) (Sunday, February 29, 2004) G90G80G49 G0 Z1.0000 M5 G0 Z1.0000 G0 X0 Y0 M5M30 But this is the source file: Any ideas ??

It's probably because your drawing is a series of SPLINEs instead of POLYLINEs.

That would be it. Explode the drawing first, this will change it to lines
