Import: DXF 3D

Function

Import DXF file of AutoCAD. A 3D Wireframe model (Edge only) of DXF files will be imported into a 3D space.

Call

File > Import > DXF 3D

<Import DXF 3D>

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 be still imported.

Translation

Translate DXF file as it gets imported.

Dx

Enter the translational distance in Global x-direction.

Dy

Enter the translational distance in Global y-direction.

Dz

Enter the translational distance in Global z-direction.

Rotation

Rotates DXF prior to import.

Angle (about Z)

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

Shape Type

Specify which data type is 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.
