Hi,
I'm making a CNC machine for plasma cutting and engraving.
Can I with the qcad/cam program dwg/dxf files import with bending lines?
Bending line is an other type line (- - - ). Can this program handel it to switch tools in the same program (offset Y axis)?
Thanks

Re: Switch to tools in the same program
Tool changes are possible, yes. Simply add the tools and the toolpaths for each tool and QCAD/CAM will switch tools between toolpaths. See also:

Can you elaborate on this or attach an example file or screenshot? Different line patterns are supported if that's your question.Can I with the qcad/cam program dwg/dxf files import with bending lines?

Re: Switch to tools in the same program
QCAD/CAM should be able to load / display that file. To ignore the bending lines, simply don't create a toolpath for them.
Re: Switch to tools in the same program
To evaluate all possibility's in QCAD/CAM it makes sense to explore the free of charge trial version.
