2.2 Export Objects as DXF File Format (*.dxf)
Following figure is showing the Model from Figure 1 exported as AutoCAD DXF R12 Format and
opened with AutoCAD 2010.
Figure 7
There are two different dxf-Formats available - the common AutoCAD DXF R12 Format and the
AutoCAD 2D DXF R12 Format.
The AutoCAD 2D DXF provides a convenient export of the "linear" (non-surface, non-point cloud)
ModelSpace objects to a 2D DXF file for use with AutoCAD.
Object vertices are projected to the "elevation = 0" plane in the current UCS. Objects are
exported as equivalent 2D DXF entities (not as the current 3D entities).
Following object types are supported: Vertex, Contours, Line Segment, Polyline and Polygon.
For further information about the export file formats contact the congruous
software provider or have a look in the Cyclone online Help.
