DavidBanner Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Hi people,I'm having problems, the kind that make me all sad and angry and green ;)I've done my frontpanel layout in Freehand (so it's all vectors), and printed it out, done the cut-outs on paper to check it all fits etc etc.BUT no-one takes Freehand files for CNC work, so I need to convert the files across.I've tried AIDE - PDF to DXF converter - it looks okay (to my very very untrained eye) in Autocad 2000 to me, but the CNC place said it had errors like double lines etc. I opened the DXF In KellyCam it's completely boned.It would make my day/week/month if someone out there would be kind enough to do one of the following for me:a) tell me the best way to convert the file from Freehand to DXF and and tricks, or tell me a program which won't take 3 months to learn where I can import a 100% size version of my work (i.e. as JPG or TIF) and layout over the top to produce a decent DXF.b) have a quick peek at the PDF (preview to see what I meant it to look like) and DXF files I've made and let me know if it's really boned and if so how badly.cheers,D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin-X Posted August 2, 2007 Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 Why not download the adobe illustrator (since freehand is Adobe now too it should support that file).Download a dfx export plugin and see if that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
