any way to import DXF's
« on: April 07, 2020, 03:07:42 PM »
I have made a bunch of coro props on the cnc router and would like to use the DXF's as the models.  I there anyway to do that or do I have to recreate them as customs?

Not directly, but this is a nice tool you can use that will do a conversion for you.

Thanks.  Xlights seems to be a bit harder to do some things than vixen but more capable.

Maybe you forgot how much time you took to learn Vixen.  I've tried it and there is no way to learn Vixen without finding tutorials.  I've sat through a training class with Jon and I'm still not sure I could sit down and create a layout and sequence from scratch without help.
