Trying to export 3D loci to .dwg or dxf - loci are not exporting


Recommended Posts

I am trying to export 3D loci to .dwg or dxf (either will do), and no matter what I do the 3D loci do not end up in the .dwg or dxf. The locus are just converted to 3D and all have z = zero as I don't need that data for my end use, and 0 is a valid number (just thinking in case VW is chucking them out like 'junk' DNA).

 

VW Landmark 2018 file encl. along the with latest attempts with .dwg & dxf (from 2012 BricsCAD).

 

Any help appreciated.

Hello @unearthed,

 

All the 66 3D loci are exported and are listed as present in both the DWG and DXF files you have attached above - please, see the images.

 

There is a system variable inside AutoCAD, which controls graphical representation of the points: PDMODE. PDMODE = 1 means no graphics at all - which is the case here. I set it to 2 inside the your dwg file and to 3 inside your dxf file - both files are attached. Additionally, there is another system variable, PDSIZE, which can control the size of the points.

Hope this helps,

Nina
