Sheetcam job import

One thing I observe right off-hand is that parts are imported with their original orientation (before they were rotated in Sheetcam). The angling part on the left was probably drawn on that angle in FreeCAD, then rotated straight within Sheetcam so its long sides align with the edge of the sheet.

Interesting that you got that far, with no screenshots though.

The little part (outline only, not blue in the screenshot below) looks right.

2nd observation -- seems only the original copy of parts are imported presently, and not Duplicates. (but that's obvious... sure you noticed that without me saying)

I can provide you some source DXF files if that's helpful. The slots and holes that are free-wheeling around in your screenshot and not attached to any parts belong to the dogbone shaped bracket thingy (that got bent later to be a saddle)

I said in my earlier post that part looks right but now I see it doesn't. Slots and holes missing!

Those were on separate layers in the original DXF file, separate of the shape outline.

Yeah, it's pretty broken yet. I'm making headway though. Here's where I am right now
The DXF file would be very revealing on this little problem. I'm not sure whats happening here

Well that's great progress. Sent wagon saddle DXF file privately.

Further info that could be helpful --

Long stringers on the right were rotated -40 degrees.

Shorter stringer pieces on the left were mirrored in Y to make them nest up against the pieces to the right (make angles match)

Turns out this job file was more complicated than I thought at first. Must have picked the right one to cover most of the bases!

I have some job files here with Sheetcam-generated geometry also (not imported DXFs or SVGs), and some that have single-line cuts. Let me know if you need them. For now you probably have lots to do with this 3/8 plate nest as it is. :)
