G_Hannigan Posted January 20, 2001 Share Posted January 20, 2001 Export DXF/DWG will work with some programs, but VW objects will lose their "intelligent" properties. Which programs are you exporting to? Quote Link to comment
doug shaffer Posted January 22, 2001 Share Posted January 22, 2001 hi - i have never tried this before, but i understand that one must have their model in a 3d view (NOT TOP/PLAN view) in order for it to work properly. the problem is, if your model is made from linked layers, you will not be able to export a single file containing the entire model. this topic has been discussed to great extent on the VectorWorks User Fourm. Someone in that forum wrote a vectorscript which temporarily converts all layer links to 'symbols', allowing a person to export to .dxf. dig through the archives for it. here is the URL for the VW User Forum: http://peach.ease.lsoft.com/archives/vectorworks-l.html good luck. ------------------ d. s h a f f e r a r c h i t e c t Quote Link to comment
