Hi everyone... Some help and guidance needed.

We do laser profiling of steel. We've got a customer who would like us the make a cut out of the British Isles.  He's sent us a dxf file of the outline of the british isles as he wants it.

We normally load such drawings into our 'Swiftcut' profiling machine, and it cuts exactly as the drawing.

What's happening here though, is that the drawing seems to be made up of dots rather than continuous lines, so the machine won't do a continuous cut.

I've zoomed right in, and that seems to be the case. although the 'dots' are incredibly small/close together, and so appear to be a continuous line.

Questions:

How could a line be drawn like that?

How can I change it into a continous line?

Any help would be much appreciated, as I'm stumped!


Thanks

Will

Don't know if this helps get an answer.... but if I click Modify/properties  then select the shape.... it shows as thousands of the little blue squares along the line... what does that mean?
