dxf boardoutline

arny64

Hello i think i have posted in the right section this time, so i have drawn a dxf for my board outline in eagle not a terribly complex shape http://www.takachi-enclosure.com/data/c16-17/2016-043-48.pdf#6 .But when i import the dxf file into eagle using the import-dxf.ulp script i get some pretty rough edges on the arc and curves and some little tiny lines show up on the top copper layer.Iam more concerned of the tiny lines running across the top copper,but Is this just the limits of this script or is there anything i can do to round out all the rough edges and get rid of the lines thanks?

 

Iam using eagle 7.3 and have already tried in version 7.6 as well.

Here are what any of the arcs look like granted its not terrible but if i can make it better i will.My fab house said the line's wont be a problem but again if i can completely get rid of what is causing it i will.

 

The dxf is designed in Autodesk AutoCad 2015 in my original drawing of the dxf it would only draw straight lines none of the arc's or bend's in eagle would show up only straight lines,while saving the dxf in R12/LT2 dxf format any other dxf format would draw nothing in eagle.but since i completely redrawn the dxf i can save it in any dxf format and eagle will import but with the edges and lines.any input is appreciated thanks

    Ok i didnt know you can create a line and give it a curve thought only the arc tool could be used.But even using a line and giving it a curve still gives me those edges.Oh well i think iam just asking to much from it.thanks for the input

    That what you see here, the outline with the polygon edge - this is a rounding error by calculating the polygon.

    What I said, the outlines have a badly drawn edge.

    There are two opposing circular segments which do not meet at the right angle.

    Here the polygon calculates more edges within more angle grids.

    The draftsman has badly joined two circle segments.

    One circle segment is larger than the other.

    Edit:

    I have now downloaded and imported a DXF file into the Eagle.

    Oh yes this is not a solution for using.

    It is poorly importable because it has too many interruptions at the edges and is bad as a full border.

    A dimension, or Milling border must be closed, otherwise the polygon calculator will also go out.
