Are there any specifics on the type of DXF allowed in part editor. I use Turbo Cad v11 and have a simple rectangle that has the top corner rounded. I can bring a regular rectangle into part editor but if I do anything besides a rectangle eCabs crashes on import. Doesn't matter the cabinet or part. I've tried on just the un-modified lower and it still crashes.
I'm attaching the dxf file. If anyone has any clues, let me know.
Thank you,
Fred

Yes your drawing had a fillet from rounding off the corners of your drawing. In Turbo Cad you can fix this by selecting the fillet and choosing explode in the Format menu in the main tool bar. It is best to only use lines and arcs in eCabinets. I did this to your drawing and also converted the lower portion of your rectangle from polylines to lines. This will work in eCabinets now.

Justin,
No the part was not located at 0,0 in the original cad program. I just located lower left to the 0,0 point in TurboCad, exported and it is still crashing.
Paul and Dan,
Thank you for the prompt response.
Paul, I never thought to delete the fillet. I did do the explode and it went right in to eCabs. Interestingly, Rolling Nest on the machine doesn't seem to mind TurboCad's fillet.
Thanks for your help. Justin let me know if I can provide any more files/info.
Thank you,
Fred
