Drawing DWG/DXF export improvements

We have improved the quality and usability of the DWG/DXF export considerably by bringing in some new functionality and changing the existing functionality.

New option to export views located outside drawing area

Now you can select whether to include in the drawing DWG/DXF export the drawing views that are located outside the drawing area. A new check box, Include views outside the drawing frame, has been added in the Export drawings as DWG/DXF dialog box for this purpose. If you do not select the check box, the export excludes the drawing views that are outside the drawing area. The views that are partially inside the drawing area are always exported by default. Previously, the views outside the drawing area were always exported, and there was no way to export only the views inside drawing area.

By default, the new check box is not selected.

When the Include views outside the drawing frame check box is selected, the export preview is enlarged to show all included views.

Template names included in export block names

The template names are now visible in the DWG export block names.

New block names look like this:

revision-8916-1611

drawing_title_ga-8916-1610

Previously, the text “Unknown”was used instead of the template name:

Unknown-6004-1611

Unknown-6004-1610

Improved drawing preview

There are several improvements in the export preview funtionality:

  • Now the export preview shows exactly what is going to be exported.

  • The preview now shows the drawing also when you start the export from the modeling mode.

  • Clicking the preview window now updates the view.

Other improvements and fixes in drawing export

  • Sometimes, due to accuracies, circular bolt hole symbols were exported segmented in the DWG/DXF format. This issue has now been fixed.

  • Earlier, if a drawing had invalid symbols, some texts and part marks might not be exported in the DWG/DXF format. This issue has now been fixed.

  • The DWG/DXF export did not work properly if imperial scale was used. This issue has now been fixed.
