Hi,
Our client says they need DXFs for laser cutting in the form of closed polylines. Can you save it like this from Solidworks? Or do you have to open the DXF in AutoCAD (or DraftSight etc.) and transform the outlines there? (If so, would someone mind telling me which tool to use? AutoCAD help is not doing it for me.)
Hi Rachayl,
In Auto cad to change lines to polylines do the following.
In command line type in PEDIT, then select one of the lines.
This will prompt you to change line to polyline choose YES.
Then select Join and select all lines, Press enter (twice I think). Lines should now all be continuous.
Thanks
Mark (SolidWorks 2011 SP2)
