Hello piratebrian,

Wondering if you might be able to help me out.

I have a Thermwood router. I am trying out some new cabinet software (Mozaik). Mozaik works in conjunction with SketchUp. Mozaik will optimize the cabinet parts and create a nest. For each sheet that is nested it will create 1 DXF file for each sheet. I can create a DXF using Mozaik or thru SketchUp. When Mozaik creates the DXF the Layers are simple an easy to edit. When Sketchup creates the DXF I have a lot of layers to sort thru and not so easy to edit the layers names / get everything on the correct layer.

I understand that I need to rename the layers of the DXF according to Thermwood naming convention.

As of now this is my main problem. When I load the DXF at the control the parts are not being placed correctly on the bed of the router and on the screen at the control. I have the sheet to be cut in the DXF at 0,0 (x,y). I can create my own DXF with just some basic squares using TurboCad and load the file at the machine and it works.

I notice that Mozaik and SketchUp makes the DXF with depth (z). I am using TurboCad to remove the z depth to 0. Not sure if I am even doing this right or if I need to.

Thermwood Control Nesting documentation indicates that I should save the DXF with AutoCAD Version 13. The TurboCad I have goes only back to 14. Not sure if that is a problem.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
