Slddrw to dxf (plines)

Jeroen Ursem Jun 17, 2014 11:17 AM

Hello,

Is there a possibility to form directly polylines when you convert a slddrw to a dxf-file? I tried to use Fit-spline, but that doesn't really work.

Now i have to use illustrator or draftsight to make the lines joined together and i want to skip this time consuming task.

When you do Save As from the solidworks drawing and pick dxf format, then click the options button on the bottom. This is probably what you want.

  Thats not what i ment. For example. When you have a rectangular plate in a slddrw and you save it as dxf, the four lines are individual lines (see image). I want those four lines to form a polyline while saving to dxf.

I don't think there is a direct way to do that. Fit Spline will add a small fillet at the corner which I think doesn't suit your needs.
