Dxf file exporting

Post by Macuser »

I am unable to export dxf files for use externally (3D Roland Modela MDX 20) As I save the dxf files an error message prompts for additional downloads . Although the file is saved there is no information for the Modela to read . I am looking to add this to my workflow but need a effective solution within FreeCad to be able to do this.

Hello, Macuser.
FreeCAD only supports 2d dxf, could this be the problem?

Please look at the link in a red/pink background titled IMPORTANT: Please click here and read this first, before asking for help. The clashing background colour was chosen so newcomers couldn't possibly miss it... :roll:

Please go to View --> Panels to enable the Report view and the Python console, try to export again and copy-paste the error message here.

As sgrogan replied, you cannot export to 3D DXF. What other formats does this CNC milling support?
