I need a little help from my friends. A client sent me this AutoCad DXF file to cut parts from 1/2" Plywood. I have never used a DXF file in RN. This DXF is set up @ 0 thickness and I tried to give it a .5 thickness in BobCad but really don't know what I am doing and it didn't work. Also, is there going to be a problem with the location of this DXF in relation to 0,0. Could someone please try and fix this file so that I can use it ? I know it is easy if you know what you're doing.

Hi Brian....
Here is your file - I created an outline layer to be cut with .375 tool - reset the drawing to 0,0 and moved it to the outline layer.
You should be able to unzip it and send it straight to your machine. I apologize, I'm at home so I couldn't check it before sending it back.
Hope that helps
Mark
