Easel troubles

Easel
1

I’m in my first week with my X-carve and am having trouble using Easel. I have decades of using AutoCAD and just can’t get away from the direct dimensional control.

I’m trying to draw in CAD (Draftsight), save out a DXF, open it in Inkscape and save as an optimized SVG. I’ve gotten this far by using the excellent info available here in the forum. Everything works, except that I can’t change the cut on the perimeter.

If someone could take a look at it and give me some hints, I’d greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

your nodes are not connected. if you “grab” on the line you can move it one line at a time meaning that they are not one shape. you can go back into Inkscape select the nodes and join them. that should solve your issues.

Thanks Kenneth, I’ll give that a try.
