PIX Import for AutoCAD - Dr. Picza (.pix) file import plug-in for AutoCAD
PIX Import for AutoCAD
is a Dr. Picza (.pix) file import plug-in for AutoCAD®. This plug-in
gives AutoCAD the ability to import geometric data from ASCII and Binary
PIX files.
PIX
Import for AutoCAD reads surface and polygon mesh data stored in PIX
files and imports it into AutoCAD. If the PIX file contains a scan of a
surface, PIX Import for AutoCAD creates the wireframe of the
surface in AutoCAD. The wireframe may be
created as a set of points, lines, polylines, splines, 3D faces or a
polygon mesh. If the PIX file contains the scan information in the form
of a polygon mesh, PIX Import for AutoCAD recreates the mesh
model inside the active AutoCAD drawing. The mesh can be recreated as
set of points, lines, polylines, 3D faces or a polyface mesh.
PIX
Import for AutoCAD is very easy to use. Once installed, it must be
loaded into the AutoCAD environment. There are simple instructions for
this in the ReadMe file. Once loaded it adds new commands to AutoCAD's
existing commands and a new submenu called "PIXImport" to the AutoCAD
menu containing these newly added commands.
PIX
Import for AutoCAD comes with detailed documentation as well as a
tutorial to get you started in
the shortest possible time.

The PIX
File Format
The PIX
file format is the native file format of a digitizer software called Dr.
Picza which comes bundled with Roland DG digitizers. The digitizer scans
an object and transfers the 3D point data to the Dr. Picza software
which saves it in the PIX file format. PIX files can contain scan data
in two formats: surface and polygon mesh. The surface format is used
when the top surface of an object is being digitized, whereas the
polygon mesh format is used when the entire surface of an object is
being
digitized.
