Import: DXF 2D

Function

Imports wireframe models with file extension *.DXF containing Edges only  into the Work Plane.

Call

 File > Import > DXF 2D

<Import DXF 2D>

Select AutoCAD R13 DXF File

Select the DXF file that will be imported. It is recommended to use AutoCAD R13 version file. However, higher version files can still be imported with limited items.

Translation

Translate DXF file as it gets imported.

Dx

Enter the translational distance in x-direction of the Work Plane.

Dy

Enter the translational distance in y-direction of the Work Plane.

Rotation

Rotate DXF file as it gets imported.

Angle(about Z)

Enter the rotational angle along z-axis of the Work Plane.

Shape Type

Specify which type the data will be imported.

Compound

When a number of Curves are imported, it is recommended to make them as a single compound for easier management and operation.

Edge

All Curves will be imported as individual Edges.

Intersect Imported Edges

Separate Curves into independent Edges at the intersection points.

Name

Enter the name of Imported Shapes.

Notes

AutoCAD files do not contain tolerance information which determines connectivity between Edges. Therefore, although Edges seems connected visually, they may not be completely connected or crossing each other. To minimize prospecting errors due to Edge connections, it is recommended to check every intersection where two or more Edges meet.
