Explode function changes part size
Posted: Wed Mar 25, 2020 12:08 pm
Hello,
I am using qcad/cam version 3.24.2.0 (3.24.2) on Windows 10.
The attached file TESTPART when imported into qcad and then exploded changes the size of the slots along the top of the drawing. I need to explode the drawing to convert it into a profile for cutting. If you watch the top left slot you will see it shrink as it is exploded.
To overcome the problem I exploded the part in nanocad and then further exploded the part in qcad. Is there any way of just using qcad?
Also, the circles in the testpart.dxf when exploded in qcad and then imported into my cam program disappear. THE same holes when first exploded in nanocad and then exploded in qcad still remain.
If anyone understands why this is happening, please let me know.
I think the original part was developed in Microstation.
I am happy to continue to use my current solution if that is the best way.
Thanks,
Daniel.
