Import DXF files from Autocad and Process them with EnRoute ATP

This movies shows how DXF files can be imported from a CAD program and then processed via EnRoute's ATP "Process Active" feature. There is no cut list in this example. Just processing of parts to create output files.

If I use “control + G” on any of my parts. The automatic tool path function won’t process at all and give me an “access error code” instead. Any help with this?

I'm trying to import thing into EnRoute, but almost everything keeps importing in magenta with arrows around the lines. Any idea what going on here and how to fix it?

I'm not sure if you have this figured out already or not but if the lines are showing up magenta with arrows, they are being imported as open contours. You can go into your "Preferences" and make sure your "General" tab is chosen and there will be a selection called "Merge Contours". Make sure that the "Import" selection is checked and then most of your lines will be imported as closed contours. You can play with the "Tolerance" amount until the number of lines you want to be merged is actually being merged. I hope that helps with your issue.

[@tracyquasebarth7245]

Your “table” area should be specified when you create a new file. Then you put in the dimensions of your table or the material your are going to mill and then there should be a red outline show up representing the information you input. Then you can import your file.
