I'm working on a plugin that involves exporting a dwg to a wmf.
-Initial thoughts were that this functionality might be exposed through the .NET API and I would just be able to call it directly, passing various information, such as a Selection Set. Correct me if I am wrong, but I can't find anything in the API that provides this functionality.
-Next thought was to call the "WMFOUT" command using the SendStringToExecute() function. This also won't seem to work perfectly as it executes after the .NET command is finished and the user will have to specify a filename and select objects to export. (Preferably those last steps would be automated by the plugin)
I'm new to using AutoCAD but learn very quickly. My boss wants me to export our cad file to pdf, but he wants it to have the black background and the colored layers. I have found how to export the color on the layers but not the black background.
I have a model that appears to be too complex for exporting into AGI32 for lighting. I'm pretty sure I have seen several models exported from AutoCAD into AGI and rendered with lighting very successfully.
I need to export some of my files directly to a dxf format, or failing that dwg. There is no such extension available to me in either "Save As" or "Export".
I'm working with many geometry like closed polylines, mpolygons and topology; in all cases, exporting to esri shp, 95% of exported geometry has a kickback point (always first and last point).
Doing map clean solve the problem in the dwg file, but the issue come back again when export.
I'm working with a SHP file that contains 56,000 polygons, but I want to export 18 of these that are relevant for my area. Is there an easy way to do this if I create a filter based on a unique data field?
I am wondering if there is a way of exporting an existing IDW created in Inventor to DWF format without having to physically open the IDW in Inventor ? I have a list of IDW's and some of them are referencing large assembly and take a long time to open and it would be better if I could do a batch export outside the Inventor environment.
I had some problems with the xml's civ3d is exporting for other software. Are there option as to what goes in the xml that is exported? I need try just getting the points and breaklines in the xml from CIV3d. Am I missing something here?
when I try to export my current drawing to a pdf (or AutoDesk 2007 DWG for that matter) it won't do anything but show the export progress window and states Updated Views: 0/4. There is a bar which usually starts showing green slowly across it for "progress" , but that is not filling up with green, it is just staying blank and empty like no progress is happening. This goes on forever and so I stop and try again only to get the same result!
I like the Export To Model feature except it's useless in its current state. Here's why: it exports the paperspace view of the layout to a new modelspace drawing...but at the wrong scale. It basically just takes a picture of the paperspace view and recreates that in a new modelspace file, ugh. The modelspace scale should be maintained and the paperspace viewport scale(s) maintained.
In other words it should set up a new drawing with the viewport(s), paperspace layout tab and model space drawing(s) intact and recreated in a new file.
I am trying to export my document to eps, but it generates an empty file without any error message. My file contains several object arrays. Can this cause a problem during the file format conversion?
im having a problem exporting to model! is there a size limit on the completed file? i cant do the particular file that i want at the moment but i can do any other so far! ive attchedf a txt file of the error, ewasErased
I need to save files as AO 1:25 pdfs to send to clients for printing. I have it all set up but as I have no plotter it wont let me save / export it!
On other threads it suggested selecting plotter "none " but that is not an option given to me , it only comes up with the home printers I have used ( they only doA4)
I am trying to take our Traction Power DWG and export it to a DGN which is no problem. The problem i am having arises when i go to attach it to the Track Alignment DGN or the OCS DGN. It says that my drawing is in international feet while the others are in US Survey feet. How can i fix my drawing so that it is in US Survey feet, when i turn it into a DGN.
I am attempting to export labels from ArcMap 9.3 into an older version of AutoCAD DeskMap (use R14 format). I am able to export polyline, point, and polygon data as a .dwg or a .dxf file and it comes into AutoCAD just fine (properly georeferenced). However, although I am able to pull up labels in Arc itself (say for example the township and range labels on a grid of Alberta), I am unable to export them to AutoCAD. I create a point feature class from my initial layer (and do the appropriate attribute table modifications to get the text to show up), those labels show up just fine in Arc, but then when I attempt to export them, either with the Quick Export tool or the Export to CAD tool either a) only the points show up (correctly georeferenced with no labels) or b) the labels and points show up but are centered around 0,0 instead of where I want them to be. In case b, the text and points are tiny and compressed (the entire grid of township and range divides for Alberta compresses down to something like 13 meters).
Apparently the xy coordinates of the text are coming in wonky. We utilize UTM for our coordinate system (again, the polylines, points and polygons export to this just fine), but for some reason when we create the text feature class (with the associated points) it takes the lat/long coordinates and tries to turn them into UTM, so we're getting coordinates like -113.2376, 55.36101. Maybe I'm not selecting the right column to export?
I know how to do this, simply to a save as copy dwg. But my question is; If i'm showing 2D sketchs from a part in my layout (Get model sktech), why do they not show in the exported DWG?
The layout is exported well, but each time a layout has been exported, a message appears with a question: "The file was successfully created. Do you want to open it now?", and the next layout won't be exported until user click button "Open" or "Don't open". I want export all layouts automatically without user input, so I don't want the message displays after exporting. How can I get rid of the dialog?
I am currently designing a logo for our company in AutoCAD. We use this logo for drawings, shirts, invoices, proposals,....etc. The logo we use was drawing by hand and is very choppy when blown up. This doesn't look good when we send the logo to make shirts and decals. I finished the logo in AutoCAD, which looks very smooth and perfect but when I try to export it in either PNG or JPEG format the logo looks choppy when zoomed in, unlike AutoCAD where it looks smooth no matter how much you zoom into it.
I'm trying to export my drawing in paper layout to PDF but it is not exporting to the correct paper size. The final export is bigger than the regular printing paper. What should I do?
we have a surveyor who uses terramodel. with 2010 we used to be able to export to a 2000 dwg and he could then convert and import to a .pro file. now, with 2013, when we do the same thing, he gets errors. we need to figure out a way to get our info into his program.
When I export from Inventor professional to an STL file for 3D printing. Everything exports ok except threads. I have a model with M10 and M4 threads which never show on the STL file. Is there an option I need to tick to make sure they convert?
I'm trying to export a surface as a DEM so that I can import the object into Bryce 7.1. I have a number of sample DEMs that I have downloaded from USGS site that import into Bryce quite nicely. These samples also import to another DEM reader named "3DEM Version 20.7." I'm able to import into Bryce when I set the grid at 10, but the quality of this surface/object is not very good. The DEMs from Civil 3d are referred to as "USGS DEM"s, but they do not load on common DEM readers such as Bryce or 3DEM software. Any way of converting a C3d DEM to a USGS DEM that one of these other readers can import?
Is it possible to export only certain types of objects using mapexport? I know you can use EntTypes of "All" or Types" in the MapExport.ini file, but can you specify lines and points? I have experimented to no avail. I have searched for explanations for each entry in the MapExport.ini file in the documentation ...also to no avail.
When I try to export a shape file (SHP) from Civil 3D, I get to the dialog box on the selection tab and the area that I'm used to seeing that says "Object Type" where you select either Point, Line, Polygon or Text is missing. I can't export the shape files without this option.
I have a 3D geometry that i wanted to export as a .STL file. But every time i selected the geometry to export, i keep getting the option "Select solids or watertight meshes: Specify opposite corner:." Although the command line does show that the objects have been selected. I've tried different ways of selecting the geometry but every time it shows the same thing.
P.S - i was able to export it in other (.IGES, .IGS formats) but it doesn't seem to be working the same way with .STL
I Can't think of what might be making this happen, but when I export a single layout to PDF (or to a printer) everything works out as normal. When I Export all Layouts to PDF, my text changes fonts and inserts squares for only some of the characters.
I'm trying to make a .dxf or .dwg from our company logo to use it in many parts and assemblies. I also would like to be able to resize it. When I export the sketch from the attached model, and use it in a new part, it says there's open loops and other problems. These do not occur in the original part when using sketch doctor.
What's wrong with the sketch? Is there easier ways to emboss the logo on multiple parts?
I want to export my autocad drawings to sap200. Problem is the solids are not recognized (faces work just fine). The entity should be acaddb3dsolid, is this different from the normal 3dsolid?
