G'Day Gang,
Not having a lot of success exporting gcodes. I am getting a error saying "Contour orientation not defined" I have not been able to find a solution from internet searches. My question is where and how do I define the contour orientation?
TIA

Re: Contour orientation not defined?
Please do attach or e-mail the DXF file with the contour(s) / toolpath(s) as this is very likely the key to what causes the problem.

G'Day Andrew,
Not sure what I did but the issue has disappeared. If it comes back I will post the file.
Thanks

Re: Contour orientation not defined?
OK. It would usually indicate a contour that is not (or not precisely enough) closed.
