In this error, notice ORCHID_FAUCET__HOLE_15″ on line 3. The ” is an invalid character in all CAD software and because the ” is used in the color name, your CAD software cannot open that file.
Invalid Characters are < > / \ ” : ? | , = ` ( ) .
To correct this problem:
- Open the .dxf file in the LT-55 XL software.
- Click Color and change the color name by removing all invalid characters i.e. < > / \ ” : ? | , = ` ( ) .
- Close the color menu.
- Save the file.
- Open the .dxf file in your CAD software.
