We're new to the ShopBot world and excited to get started with an adopted PR96. We have generated several practice parts in a CAD program and exported them as DXF version 12. When we open one of these in a ShopBot 3.4 and run a test in the preview, their appears no logic in the tool path - its cutting each line but not in a logical toolpath order. How do I get order to this madness?

Jeff - After you import dxf files, you many times have open loop vectors. Try closing any open loops and see if this helps.
