DXF Export for Solid Edge - AutoCAD DXF file export add-in for Solid Edge
DXF Export for
Solid Edge is an
AutoCAD DXF file export add-in for Solid Edge®. This add-in
gives Solid Edge the ability to export 3D solid data from a
Solid Edge part and assembly document to 3d solids or meshes in
an AutoCAD DXF file.
DXF Export for
Solid Edge reads the
solid models from the current Solid Edge part or assembly and
writes them as 3d solids in an AutoCAD DXF file. It can also
tessellate 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
Solid Edge is very
easy to use. It adds new commands to Solid Edge. Once installed,
it automatically loads itself into Solid Edge and adds a new
submenu called "DXF Export for Solid Edge" to the Solid Edge
Applications menu containing the newly
added commands.
DXF
Export for Solid Edge comes with detailed documentation as well as a
tutorial to get you started in
the shortest possible time.

The DXF
File Format
The AutoCAD DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format)
is a CAD data file format, developed by Autodesk as their solution for
enabling data interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs. DXF
was originally introduced in December 1982 as part of AutoCAD 1.0, and
was intended to provide an exact representation of the data in the
AutoCAD native file format, DWG (Drawing), for which Autodesk didn't
(and doesn't) publish specifications.
DXF is probably one of the most widely supported vector formats in the
world today. DXF is rich in features, including: support for 3D objects,
curves, text, associative dimensioning, etc. Although DXF was developed
to represent the data used in a CAD program, it is used by many programs
as a "least common denominator" format for the exchange of many
different types of data, most commonly vector-oriented information but
also text and 3D polygons.
