Lines and curves change, compatibility/polylines?

[Gurr]

Hey folks! I'll also be searching for this problem in the meantime, but its a little tough to figure out how to phrase it so I'll also post it.

I'm using a silhouette cutter (with their software silhouette studio) to make cutouts of designs. When I take the dxf I've made and import it into the silhouette studio, the lines come in curved.

I had this same issue with NanoCAD before and I managed to fix it through joining lines to make a single polyline. Unfortunately, QCAD isn't letting me do so.

Any thoughts? File included. Here's a pic of what I'm talking about as well.

Hi,
The outcome has too much or no bulgings.
I suspect the problems ly with silhouette studio.

Now, the contour is a logical closed poly with a continuous pattern in a block.
A) Does it look different when the source is not in a block?
My CNC doesn't like the polyline pattern setting.
B) Any change with the setting turned off?
C) Any change if the poly would be geometrically closed?

Just some ideas

Thanks for the response!

It ended up being a polyline issue. It was resolved when I exploded the part instead of having it as one.

It ended up being a polyline issue.

The solution was 'joining lines to make a single polyline'
The problem was 'Unfortunately, QCAD isn't letting me do so.'
While it was a polyline in QCAD.
And the solution is splitting up the Poly.

All this doesn't make sense anymore!
