Sketch Lines With Inserted DXF Image

Anonymous — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 03:04:03 GMT

All of a sudden when I upload a dxf file it’s showing sketch lines throughout it. I don’t know how to get them to go away. Can someone help?

@Anonymous - this is an enhancement we made recently. Those "sketch lines" are control polygons for CV splines. In the past, we would import AutoCAD splines as "dumb" curves - you could not edit them. Now, because we converted them to CV splines, you can edit them if you want. The control polygons are not harmful to your design - you can ignore them.

follow up:

We are in the process of completing 3 fixes related to this:

Exporting to DXF from a sketch will no longer export that control frame. This is planned for the next update
Importing DXF from the application will now have an option to not convert DXF splines to CV splines (and therefore will not create the control frame). This fix did not make the immediate next release, but will be in the following one
CAM toolpath geometry will prevent inadvertent selection of construction geometry (including the control frame) when selecting tool path geometry. Again, that fix will come in the release after the upcoming one.
