GERBER AAMA DXF to OPTITEX

Grading_Datagraf

hello Community! 
I hope someone can help me please, one of our client works with Optitex and they are having issues importing my DXF - they can see the grade and after loads of attempts they can now also see active seam allowances but they don't see notches - the point is there but no the notch. 
I have tried to convert AAMA &  ASTM dxf - from V8 - V10 and V15(which seems to be the best one) - but nothing no notches in any of them. 
Anyone who had the same problem? Any suggestion will be aprreciated.
Thansk in advance!

Hi Vasyl, thanks for posting the link, i have check previous discussion but isn't this for the GERBER converter program? My client doesn't  have it in the system, maybe is an extra to add to the software? I asked them but they need the file in DXF

Export your DXF from Gerber as  aama  or astm  . In your clients optitex they can import the DXF as aama or astm depending which option you exported as. inside the optitex pattern design program Import the dxf in aama or astm format then go to view, display attributes , internals, internal tool & then switch on or of the layers by ticking each box . This will display all the associated attributes attached to the patterns . Play around with the layers you want to be displayed to be plotted or cut & appear on screen

No worries. Your client does not need to use the optitex converters to import dxf into their PDS. They can import directly. Using file, import cad/cam file option. They must check the scale when importing dxf as their are option to import from mm , cm, inches, feet & meters. I think from Gerber it’s import in cm for the dxf
