For export, see here: http://grabcad.com/questions/tutorial-how-to-export-points-from-solidworks-to-a-excel-file
Hello, maybe not the easiest solution but it is possible to import a spline from an excel or text file. So you will have to export the coordinates of the points and then use the insert > curve menu > xyz points.
It seems a bit complicated to me for what I want to do but I'll try...
If you can open the DXF with Autocad (or DWGTrueview for free), try copying and pasting the Autocad spline into the SW sketch
When I copy/paste from draftsight of the spline I have new lots of segments.
Would you mind posting the DXF in question? Just to see for ourselves;)
What is the brand of laser machine??
because normally you find with the software of the machine a software like metal design (for the Amada fo-3015 machine) that can help you

Here is the play
For the machine, we have a bystronic driven by Lantek.

I find it very very beautiful your Triskell and long live Brittany

And here is your part in extrusion (3D)

in dxf it gives a multitude of lines even if you activate the export as spline

It's true that for the arcs of a circle and spline, he struggles.
If you have successfully imported your dxf into Lantek, there is a "fitting" function in English
This simplifies the spline as much as possible and saves a lot of time.

just stick an offset surface to it and sew
if you don't want to see these micro lines that are 0.956 mm

Erratum I managed to export it as a spline
Otherwise under SW I did as benoit had told me in a previous post
Right-click selected the channel
then tool/spline tools/Adjust spline, with 0.01 in adjustment

Here is your dxf import into Lantek, simplified, then export again to dxf.
From 2.3MB base, I go to 30Kb!
A piece of advice, when importing, you should avoid having cartridges, text etc...
Keep only the essentials!

@bart your less line but you have some so you will have a multitude of starting points on a Chinese laser lol
so mine in spline

Oh yes, I respected the original triskell as best I could, I just simplified the polylines.

Well in summary to simplify the spline under sw you need a station that pedals fast if you want to rework it

very good synthesis @ Gérald
and it's for any SW in addition knowing which of + is
that it is unibody and that a frequency of 3.4 Ghz is required
and minimize constraints, points, etc.......
and the fewer adjustment points you have on a spline, the better you know

Bart's DXF is perfect, it works very well with the laser, I would like to know exactly how you got it back!!
Thank you
