DXF Export for Pro/ENGINEER - AutoCAD DXF file export plug-in for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire
|
DXF Export for Pro/ENGINEER is an AutoCAD DXF file export plug-in for Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire. This plug-in gives Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire the ability to export 3D solid data from a Pro/ENGINEER part and assembly document to 3D solids or meshes in an AutoCAD DXF file. Pro/ENGINEER already has the ability to export AutoCAD DXF files. However, the export feature is limited to 2D drawings only and cannot export parts and assemblies. DXF Export for Pro/ENGINEER reads the solid models from the current Pro/ENGINEER part or assembly and tessellates the solid bodies into individual triangular meshes. These meshes are then exported to a DXF file as 3D Polyface Mesh, 3D Face, Line or Point objects. DXF Export for Pro/ENGINEER is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be loaded into the Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire environment. Follow the simple instructions in the ReadMe document which can be found in the installation folder. Once loaded, it adds new commands to Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire and a submenu called "DXFExport" to the Pro/ENGINEER menu. |
