creating surfaces in router level 1

[carpenters]

Hi,

I use Mastercam 5 router pro level 1. I received a drawing in .dxf file for a 3D job. Unfortunately they did not send me the wireframe, and I only a 3d shaped drawing with 9454 broken lines. I am not able to connect the lines and keep the shape and I don’t know what to do. I rather stay within my capabilities, and pay somebody else to do these drawings for us unless there is a simple solution. Anyone interested

I'd ask the customer for an IGES, STEP, or Solidworks file. Remodeling the part will take a lot of time, thus adding expense, and has the possibility of introducing errors.

 

 

Edit:

 

Wait, you're doing router? Do you just need a 2D outline? That should be fairly quick and easy. Put the file on the FTP and I'll take a peek at it.

sounds like it may be a STL or Mesh file. But as Mathew said as for a 3d surface model or a solid model.With Router Pro you can do full 3D programming.
