I try to create my own SMD solder masks using a cutting plotter (Silhouette Portrait) and need DXF as intermediate format.
My PCB tool (DipTrace) can export to DXF and when I load the DXF into QCad, it looks fine, but when I load the same DXF into the plotter application, it's empty.
I assume it's because the pads are exported as "solids" and I assumed I could quickly convert them to polylines in QCad, but unfortunately, I didn't find a way yet.
Well, I could draw a polyline around each of these solids, but there must be a better way to do this.
Any ideas?

I'm using QCad Pro 3.9.4.0 on Windows 7

I've created a feature request at:

A quick fix is available to use Modify > Explode to convert solids into polylines.

Great, thanks for the quick support!
