I have a very simple Inventor 2013 CAD model that I tried to export to an STL and the scale of the STL is not 1:1. I have tried changing all of the units and setting 100 different ways and I still cannot get it to export to a 1:1 scale for 3D printing. What is the deal with this I cannot believe it is this difficult.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI want to export a layout as a dwg file. Why do I want to do this? I got a drawing, and they put some stuff on the layout, so I want to export the layout so I can then work in the new file in the model area? Do you get what I mean?
Also, If I make a layout, I put my Firm Logo and information in the layout. If I send this to another firm, which isnt using Autocad, they than can only see the model area, so If I can export it into 1 file, in the model area, they cann see the whole thing.
In attempting to use either 'export face as' or 'export sketch as' from a solid model in Inventor 2013 the resultant DXF file ALWAYS consists of PolyLines. This prevents other "downstream" software from properly importing the file as a DXF. Thus far the ONLY work-around I have found is to open the DXF in AutoCAD, Explode the polylines, and then re-save as a DXF from AutoCAD.

When I export the drawing, the composition that I model in Revit is shown in the paper space, Is there a way to automatically export this composition into the model space?

It exports a 1kb file with nothing in it.

I know that it can be exported to Mudbox, but is this the only place it can be exported?
I am trying to find a way to reproduce a model created in Maya (or Mudbox for that matter) as a physical object (via 3D printing).
Yet no one seems to have much experience with this, and tools like "Inventor" don't seem to like working with things that are not solids (i.e. not polygon meshes, sub-divs, or NURBs).
Has anyone had any luck exporting a Revit 3D model directly to Acrobat 3D? I can't seem to get it to work.I can export to AutoCAD and then to Acrobat 3D, but I lose all embedded Revit information.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a large model that I'm trying to export to .dae to use in Torque3D. The problem is when I export it, I loose all of the textures. I read that in order to export the model properly I have to change the map# of the textures to be within a certain range?
I tried just exporting a single object from the model but when I export I receive warnings/errors saying that It was not able to apply the texture map# 20 because it is not supported outside of 3ds max..

View 2 Replies View RelatedI just got back from maternity leave and I left work at Autocad 2011 and came back on Autocad 2013. I work thru my viewports in my model space, and I've noticed that when I pan and zoom in or out or move to quickly from one point to another (didn't notice which) my model space swaps to paper even if I'm in a command. Is this something I can deactivate?
View 3 Replies View RelatedMy problem today is that I made a Model of a Part of a ship using surfaces rather than solids because the engineer thought it would be easier to bring into ANSYS program for analysis but he is now having a problem with it and I am looking into converting my current model to solid. I can do it but the method I thought of using is quite long winded and we are working to a tight deadline.
1.open up the surface part
2.use "Offset/Thicken"
3.any clashes between parts make a sketch and cut away.
the problem is the amount of plates I have and the time it takes to sort them out.
I then change to my A0 template on a different tab in the same drawing, size up the model in model space within the viewport (everything still fine), then as soon as I scale the model to 1:200 the icons I've added to the drawing (I say icon it's one particular group of icons - CCTV camera icons I've made and added) suddenly become massive and three times the size.
If I add them when already at 1:200 they're fine but it only seems to do this when I actually scale the drawing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedBasically I've got a detail specific to my design, I've extruded all of the layers up to their desired levels etc, but now I want to be able to rotate it all so that instead of these layers being orientated vertically, they are orientated horizontally, if that makes sense. I understand that there is something involved with the UCS but I'm not sure how to get this to work. This may be an issue with my computer as I know my laptop graphics card is pretty rubbish and impacts a lot of 3d programs such as Rhino and SketchUp so this could be the issue here

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am currently using AutoCAD Civil 3D 2010 for surveying work and have been trying to figure out how to use part of an existing survey of land model. I have it in a layout (paper space) and used a viewport to get the section I am after but there are some changes in labeling and minor model modifications needed to make it a stand alone model and I do not want to modify the original model to make these changes. How can I take a section like I have in view port and make it into its own model with a different scale so the changes can be made and the original model is left in tact?
View 7 Replies View RelatedWe received a surface model from a vendor that I have patched up as best I can, it still has one hole that I can find that I haven't been able to fill. Ideally we would like to have a solid model, but I'm running out of time to get this done and the surface model we have would be good enough for our purposes IF I can get the yellow surface tangent lines to turn off or change their color to black.
I've attached a jpg of the surface model with the yellow lines and uploaded the model here: [URL].....
CIvil 3D 2013 / My drawing opens in layout view and all model objects are appropriately coloured by layer. If I hit plot at this point, my colour dependent .ctb file works fine. However, once I swtich to model view, all my linework turns white and if I switch back to Layout view it remains white and plots each line with the weight assigned to the colour white.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've created a 3D product model in an application that does not have any text capabilities (Autodesk Inventor Fusion 2013). I'm trying to get that model into AfterEffects (AE) via the Photoshop live object technique.
But before I open it in AfterEffects, in Photoshop CS 5.5 Extended, I'm trying to add the product text graphics to the "Diffuse" layer of the model so, when animated in AE, all the text moves with the appropriate perspective, etc.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to format the text to fit the model.
Fusion saves files natively to .DWG format, but they appear non-standard and without some key data.
I was able save the file as a "STEP" file .stp, then translate to .3DS format. That file results in a model that opens just fine in Photoshop and when saved in .psd format, and opened in AE as a Photoshop Live object, works fine. I can't image getting the text on the surface in AE would be easier/better than Photoshop.
Each time I double click on Layer 1's Diffuse (texture) sub-layer (is that the correct term?), I can put some text in the new window, but the scale is always way wrong, the orientaion is 90 degrees off (counter clockwise), and the text is clearly trying to wrap and repeat all around the model. I'm just trying to get a set of text (several pieces in different locations - company name, product name, some small additional text) on one side of the surface bound as if it were part of the model.
As an aside, I did try to add the 3D model, converted to a .DAE file, to presets > meshes as suggested in the help files, so I could treat it like one of the 3D object presets, and add the text that way.
No matter what I do I can't get the mesh to appear in the pre-set list. I don't see any way to "activate" the mesh other than place the file in .DAE format in that folder. Yes, I've exited and re-started Photoshop many times.
you have to primitives, that you've modified. These objects are one on top of the other.When you click on the one that's on top, the screen momentarily goes dark, then all you see is the object on the bottom, not the one you are say, moving.
What you should be seeing, of course is the top element, and bottom element, so, (as in this example) you can see how far you have moved it in relation to the bottom one.

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.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI'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 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.
Is there a way to export ALL layouts at once or are you limited to one at a time?
