![]() Just in case it is an issue with the polyline Wilson is there an upper limit in VW for the number of vertices when exporting to DXF R12 or any DXF/DWG version? (Or importing for that matter as that is more common for me to run into but I don't recall objects imported in the past that hat 4500+ vertices in a single polyline).QCAD is a free, open source application for computer aided drafting (CAD) in two dimensions (2D). ![]() It might be an option to decompose the polyline to lines in VW and then compose it into a new polyline and try to reduce the vertices from there if possible. Though the machining workshop might not like that outermost outline with 51,000+ vertices. ![]() Despite the the resulting DXF R12 file it generates is almost half the size of your DXF R12 so it seems to me that something isn't going right with the VW to DXF R12 export.Īttached are both an ASCII and a binary DXF R12 export of the above. The decomposing ot the outermost polyline resulted in 51,000+ lines but it could be recombined into a polyline in Bricscad with the same number of vertices. In other words: clean up the drawing as much as you can by reducing the number of vertices in polylines and breaking up polylines with very large number of vertices into smaller segments without affecting the shapes/contours and then combine the segments in a DWG program if necessary.Įdited Maby Art During a break I did a test by converting the outermost polyline to lines in VW, export that as DXF and recombine it into a polyline in BricsCAD and then inserted the DXF R13 file into it. or whatever it takes to get all segments exported) If there are still issues with missing parts of the outermost polyline you may need to break it into segments with even less vertices (e.g. Draftsight or another DWG based CAD program to connect the segments again into a closed polyline if required for the machining. If the above still does not give you the outermost polyline in the DXF then break the polyline into segments of 500 vertices max., then export to DXF, then use e.g. This should make it easier for the machining as well. Simplify the polyline as much as possible, and do the same for all other objects because may of them use more vertices than strictly necessary. I think that the only way to solve this is to do two things if you want to export this from VW to DXF:ġ. 800 but does not solve the issue as it still generates the same result as in the DXF R12. Simplyfing the polyline with a tolerance of 0 reduces the number of vertices with approx. The outermost polyline consists of 4500+ vertices. My guess is that the number of vertices is too large or there is something in the missing segment that causes it to not get exported. The left half of that outline is missing. "Unclosing" the outermost polyine in VW results in only the right half of the outermost polyline to be exported, as it is now in the DXF R12, it does close that part and that is why you see that diagonal line. Exporting to a more recent version gives the same result as for the DXF R13 The DXF R13 is not correct either, the entire outer outline is missing A few things I noticef after looking at the VW file and doing some test DXF/DWG exports:
