Hi,
V5
I am told that my work will need to be passed onto an architect, who I dont know.
What export option do I use and exactly what settings do I select (as they will make or break what I do no doubt !!!) to achieve the following :-
Keep my layers and names so they can be turned off/on and reveal/hide the objects as I can ?
Keep the layer colouring which the objects also have ( objects use layer colours is my method of working)
Dimensions retain their visible size same as I see them, no microscopic dims and arrows
Text and leaders viewable as I see them size wise. If on red layer then in red etc.
Ortho views and perspective view
I dont think the original Autocad, if he/she has that, does a rotate 3D, as it doesnt do surfaces etc, or does it nowadays ?
1 and 2 should be no problem with any flavor of .dxf or .dwg.
3, 4 and 5 are not guaranteed under any circumstances with any file format, unless it’s Rhino to Rhino or OtherCAD to OtherCAD.
Send a .pdf file with the Rhino file to show them how it “should” look.
Hi, Thanks.
1 and 2 good news.
So they have to fiddle with dims style, bit like I have to when opening dxf from Autocad, Could nt even see the dims to alter them !
SelDim found them.
I presume I need to tell them the units my rhino file is using when exporting as dxf.
I come to do this and meet with a list, do I choose R12 natural, or 2004 natural, or default or what ?
I have had to take a punt on this chose R12 for dxf and also dwg.
sent them off.
I open them into rhino V5 and cannot see surfaces just a complete mess of isocurves which is impossible to work with . In V4 and also V5.
This was so important to get right and why I asked in advance.
Should rhino open these and show surfaces, a brick wall as we know it and not a forest of lines ?
This is fundamental stuff , getting a critical file wanted urgently to someone else.
