Problem Exporting DXF Files

Problem with DXf files.

I am having a nightmare with exporting DXF files for my letter bending machine. It is becoming a huge headache.

When I export and then try open, I either has it coming up with it not being closed or a dodgy shape. 

I have tried multiple ways of exporting. 

I have attached a example of the file when exporting to when I reopen in illustrator, you can see it is not correct.

I am running illustrator 2023

Hello @Amanda23681098dcl9,

 

Thanks for confirming that. This seems to be a problem with the GPU preview.
Would you mind exporting this as a JPEG and checking if the problem persists? Also, try switching to CPU Preview (Ctrl+E for Windows / Cmd+E for macOS) and share your observations.

 

Looking forward to your response.

Hello @Amanda23681098dcl9,

 

Sorry to hear about this experience. Would you mind pressing the Ctrl+E (Windows) / Cmd+E (macOS) keys on your keyboard after reopening the exported DXF and checking if it helps?

 

Looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks,

Anubhav
