Compatibility with CAD and CAM programs

Submitted by guitar-list on Tue, 2009-09-01 14:05

The plugin's output is compatible with the following CAD/CAM programs tested so far: 

DXF: Cambam, Sketchup, A9CAD, AutoCAD LT (evaluation version), DoubleCAD
STL: FreeMill, Vectric Cut-3D (evaluation version), Roland Modela Player, Boxford's 3D GeoCAM.

 I have Down loded both of the skp to dxf files and have failed to get pictures out of DWG True View Applicaion, AutoCAD DWG Launcher and Autodesk DWF Application. Do you have any advise, please?

If I can get this to work It would be the best thing since sliced bread to me and Fensec Ltd

DWG or DXF?

Hi William,

Can you give a bit more detail. Is the DWG viewer program expecting a DWG file? The plugin exports DXF files, which are text files whereas DWG files are binary. The DWF file format is also different from DXF. Maybe this is related to the problem. Are there any error messages? Can you open the DXF file in a text editor?

I am going to try to download True View, as it is free, and have a go myself.

There are free programs (like DoubleCAD) that can open DXF and save as DWG.
