The exported file functioned in CAD perfectly.
This is also useful for determining if objects

We convert AI files into DXF files to use in our CNC Cutting
process. I.E. AI/EPS/PDF > Export DXF > CAD Import

handrawn, I did bring it into Photoshop,
save as a .psd file and then opened in

First one came with four layers, turned off fills
and had outlines to work with: Or should I say
strokes ? In any event, exported into DXF using
a third...
Just knowing it can be done is a great help.
Thank you.
I work in CAD and often receive AI files from clients.
The downside is that I work in .001" accuracy for our CNC equipment
and many files I receive are less accurate. This plays out in the form...
When clients send AI files, I typically import them into Corel.
I then save and export them into Corel or other file formats
for production. Recently, the AI files won't import and a friend...
