Hi!
I am importing dxf files from illustrator into rhino.
everything lands on the top view. how could I import the objects right onto the “front” layer?
i want to avoid rotating the object after import, which of course would be an option, but I want to just import and go with it…
Thanks, Florian
use the command RemapCPlane. just go into the 4 view then select the objects in top view
then click into the view you want to have it in.
thanks for the hint! but I will always have to repeat that step when I import new files…
I was hoping I can once at the start define that imported drawings (always 2D) are being put on the “front” view
Hi Flo - you can use Insert instead and in the Front view type in 0 as the insertion point. You can set Insert it insert as a block instance, group or just objects’
Macro:
! _CPlane _World Front -_Insert _FIle=Yes _Browse _Objects _Enter 0 _Enter _Enter _CPlane _Previous
(V6 users replace ‘_Previous’ with ‘_Undo’…)
