Ideally the other tutorial sections will answer most general questions, but those are just getting started and may not cover all possible questions, or direct questions about SignTorch products.
Hi, I am new to plasma cutting and design and would like to inquire about purchasing dxf files. I found your sharing page and was very impressed with the designs.
Please let me know how I can get some files to try out on my cnc. Tks
I am looking at getting some individual files from the dog breeds, the Labradoodle images. But they will not come up when selected? Is it a website problem or do you not sell them individually?

Having trouble with the bundle download files not opening after unzipping. I'm opening them in Inkscape using the "open" command and setting the file type to .DXF.
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "dxf_input.py", line 530, in <module>
inkex.errormsg(_('%d ENTITIES of type POLYLINE encountered and ignored. Please try to convert to Release 13 format using QCad.') % polylines)
NameError: name '_' is not defined
the DXF has polylines with arcs - old school - directly compatible with gcode - supported by all CAD/CAM applications
vector graphics formats and softwares like Inkscape use bezier curves - no gcode equivalent - cannot actually form a true arc or circle - marginally supported by some CAD/CAM software - to convert to gcode, bezier curves are usually plotted as lots of tiny line segments
later version DXFs can contain SPLINES - which are a special type of bezier curve - can form true arcs - but not universally compatible with many mainstream CAD/CAM apps
see this link for one example how DXF with splines can be problematic
