DWG Export for
Solid Edge is an
AutoCAD DWG 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 DWG file.
DWG 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 DWG file. It can also
tessellate the solid bodies into individual triangular meshes.
These meshes are then exported to a DWG file as 3D Polyface
Mesh, 3D Face, Line or Point objects.
DWG 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 "DWG Export for Solid Edge" to the Solid Edge
Applications menu containing the newly
added commands.
Pricing
DXF Export for Solid Edge is
priced at 195 EUR only. This is the price of a single user license. For
your bulk-licensing needs please

Installation & Usage
Since
DXF Export for Solid Edge is a add-in for Solid Edge, it must be loaded
into the Solid Edge environment before it can be used. Please follow the
simple instructions in the DXF Export for Solid Edge ReadMe
document which is copied
into the installation folder. After you have loaded the add-in file into
Solid Edge, simply click on the menu items in the "DXF Export for

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. |
