Hi,
my name is Alex, I am from Germany and new to QCad. I have drawn a Geometry for milling - in QCAD it looks fine, but after milling I can see the straight lines that QCad creates instead of curves. Especially a large radius of 2000mm is in the end a combination of 2 staight lines, see picture below. How can I adjust to a more fine resolution?

Re: How Do I change the amount of sections of curves?
Please provide more details:
- How did you transfer the QCAD drawing to the milling machine? Did you generate G-Code from it somehow? If so, how?
- Please attach also your DXF drawing as well as your G-Code (if any).

Hi,
I saved the drawing as DXF file and opened it in Estlcam, where I created the G-Code Data.
I can attache the files tonight, as I a currently working on a different PC.
Many thanks for your support,
Alex

Dann ist das Problem doch höchst wahrscheinlich dort zu suchen. Ich tippe auf fehlende Spline-Unterstützung in dieser Software. Allenfalls die Spline in QCAD aufbrechen.

Anbei die DXF und das in Estlcam erzeweugte CNC Program....

Ich habe mir Deine Zeichnung angesehen und habe nichts gefunden was Estlcam nicht bearbeiten könnte. Mit anderen Worten - die QCAD Zeichnung ist OK so wie sie ist.
Ich vermute das Du einen falschen Postprozesor in Estlcam gewählt hast oder sonstige Einstellungen nicht passen. Da wir keinen support für Estlcam anbieten frage am besten direkt bei Estlcam nach.
