DXF Analysis
Information about DXF analysis (tap briefly to open)
DXF analysis – check DXF drawings before manufacturing
This tool analyses DXF drawings for typical geometry and manufacturing issues before laser, plasma, waterjet or CNC processes.
The DXF file is analysed server-side and automatically deleted after processing.
What is DXF analysis used for?
Clean, error-free 2D geometry is essential for reliable manufacturing processes and CAM systems.
Typical use cases:
- Laser and plasma cutting
- CNC milling and engraving
- Waterjet cutting
- Nesting and material optimisation
- Quality control before CAM import
Which properties are checked?
The analysis detects typical issues and inconsistencies in DXF files:
- duplicate lines and segments
- open contours and polylines
- segments that are too short
- overlapping geometries
- invalid layer structures
- unclosed contours
This allows manufacturing issues to be detected and corrected early.
How does DXF analysis work?
- Upload DXF file
- Analyse DXF entities
- Check geometry and segments
- Validate contours
- Show analysis report
Supported include lines, polylines, circles and arcs.
Typical benefits of the analysis
- Avoidance of manufacturing errors
- better CAM compatibility
- clean contours for laser and CNC
- early error detection
- optimisation of technical drawings
Current limitations
- Current maximum file size is 80 MB per DXF file
- Block references are not fully resolved
- Very complex drawings may take longer to process
- The analysis is performed server-side
Checks
- duplicate lines and segments
- open contours and polylines
- segments that are too short
- overlapping geometries
- invalid layer structures
