Problem: Pattern pieces do not import correctly into VStitcher.
Solution: Check the export DXF (AAMA) settings on the software used to create the DXF file. In particular, ensure the layers are set correctly.
For example, the following table summarizes the settings for exporting a DXF file from Lectra software. It may be useful as a guide for other software if no other recommendations are available.
