Hello, I would have liked to know if any of you use Lantek Expert?? (Laser cutting software)
I have problems with error message on it and after many internet searches, impossible to find a forum or other to help me solve my problems...
Basically, when opening a dxf file in a job, when I select my file, I get error messages that appear before opening the file... These error messages strongly resemble file properties (e.g., $LASTSAVEDBY, $DIMFXL, $DIMFXLON.....) The DXF files come from Autocad.
Even if you don't know Lantek Expert, do you know or can configure the properties of my Autocad file in order to delete them?? I searched but I couldn't find anything that matched these messages...
I suspect that my question must not be very clear but it's very hard to explain my problem without showing it live :-/
In any case, thank you in advance to those who can give me the beginning of an answer;)

EDIT: By the way, the title of the error messages is "Invalid Header Data".
Yes, I have been an expert Lantek user for 3 years.
These error messages appear when I import a dxf or dwg from a client.
I deduced that it is their registration format that differs from mine.
But it doesn't impact the part, you can import it like that, do ok ok ok ok and keep working.
Otherwise you open the dxf with draftsight or Sw and you re-register it.
Edit: If the files come from your computer, indeed you need to review your recording format. I know that there are several formats. In any case, if you save your dxf with Sw, you won't have any problems importing into Lantek
I admit that I don't directly deal with laser cutting, only with the cleaning of the plans and the unfolding of sheet metal to send them to be cut. I enter the parts on Lantek, that's all, I don't go any further, a specialized team takes over. But afterwards, I didn't get any feedback on bad cuts, except when the drawing is badly done (superimposition of lines, open contours... But it's hard to get it wrong, Lantek gives a good view of open contours and it has some functions that allow you to automatically correct errors of this type. The software works perfectly well (in any case when it comes to getting parts into it) And Profirst was provided with it if I'm not mistaken. On the other hand, Profirst is a copy and paste of Autocad but not as good (in my opinion). So I don't use it.
After that, it's the opinion of a temporary worker who has been working on it for only 3 weeks;p
Hello Frédéric, it is true that Profirst integrates very practical functions but overall, used to Autocad, I find it less intuitive and less "complex" on some features, which makes it very difficult to get what I wanted when I tried it. And the two or three functions like the cleaning of the contours you are talking about, I find them in Lantek Expert. After that, my colleague only works on Profirst and he's very happy with it!
