Dxf Export of Dimension

[wandererfan]

This is with dimension. Please compare code difference [ignore position value diff]
Some extra code 71 not required & some forgot to insert code 70.

Some dim arrow is flipped in export see screenshot.

Try this one. It looks ok in Draftsight.

I have made some modification in dxf and now directly opening autocad.

Could you please compare two[original & modified dxf files] & insert those changes. Change are in $DWGCODEPAGE[removed], VPORT[some code removed] & DIMSTYLE[added some code]. No Other changes.

Please try the attached file for ACAD compatibility. Thanks.

working perfectly.

code 71 not required. [see attached file for comparison]

diameter, radius text position is not correct [see screenshot].

One suggestion, we will make each view a block with actual size & then scale it on block insertion.

So somebody require actual one, just insert block.

getting closer. code 71 on Dims is from later version of Dxf, will remove.

Not sure why text pos is wrong. Looks like same code as linear/angular.

Not sure what this means, actually. My dxf knowledge is just what I've picked up fixing the existing code. Can you post a sample?

Thanks for testing.

I just exported one cube to dxf with 3 views. see attached file from our legacy exporter as block [shape2d to block].
I just modified first inserted view with 41 & 42 to scale the block in x & y

Code: Select all

INSERT    66 (Attributes follow flag -optional 0), 2 (Block name), 
          10, 20, 30 (insertion point), 41 (X- scale factor 
          -optional 1), 42 (Y scale factor -optional 1), 43 (Z- 
          scale factor -optional 1), 50 (rotation angle -optional 
          0), 70 and 71 (column and row counts -optional 1), 44 and 
          45 (column and row spacing -optional 0).

Please check this file for diameter/radius text position. Thanks.

See attached freecad file. If techdraw page dxf exported, position of one view changes.

Everything OK. see attached screenshot. But diameter symbol is showing some strange values & angle arrow both in one side.

Is your "Diameter symbol" in Preferences set to a unicode character? Dxf R12 only understands ASCII (and somethings called MIF and CIF). If you change your preference to "%%c" it will show as Ø in Draftsight and probably ACAD - but it will show as "%%c" in FC.

The arrow problem is a 1 character typo in the source.
