Convert DSTV to DXF (old conversion tool)

You can create NC/DSTV files in DXF format by converting DSTV files to DXF files. Before running a DXF conversion, you must first create the NC files in DSTV format. The old conversion tool is available in Tekla Warehouse.

Install the DSTV to DXF converter

The old DSTV to DXF converter tool is available as an extension and can be installed as a TSEP package from Tekla Warehouse.
  1. Download the DSTV to DXF converter installer package from Tekla Warehouse.
  2. Install the TSEP package.

Convert DSTV files to DXF

You can convert the created DSTV files in DXF format by using the Convert DSTV files to DXF macro.

Limitation: The macro has been designed for simple plates. Therefore it may not give correct conversion results for beams, columns, and bent polybeams.

Note: If you run the conversion from the Applications & components catalog, the conversion settings are loaded from the metric .def file (tekla_dstv2dxf_metric.def).
  1. Create the NC files in the DSTV format.
  2. Click the Applications & components button in the side pane to open the Applications & components catalog.
  3. Click the arrow next to Applications to open the applications list.
  4. If Convert DSTV files to DXF is not visible in the Applications list, select the Show hidden items check box at the bottom of the Applications & components catalog.
  5. Double-click Convert DSTV files to DXF to open the Convert DSTV files to DXF dialog box.
  6. Browse for the folder that contains the DSTV files you want to convert to DXF files.
  7. Select the DSTV files and click Open.

    Tekla Structures automatically creates an NC_dxf folder under the model folder and creates the DXF files there.

Convert DSTV files to DXF using tekla_dstv2dxf.exe

You can use a separate Tekla Structures program tekla_dstv2dxf.exe to convert the DSTV files to DXF format. Only one side of a part (front, top, back or bottom) is written to the file, and therefore this export format is most suited to plates.

The program is located in the ..\Tekla Structures\<version>\bin\applications\Tekla\Tools\dstv2dxf folder. The conversion settings are loaded from the settings in the appropriate tekla_dstv2dxf_<env>.def file.

  1. Create a folder for the DSTV files, for example c:\dstv2dxf.

    Do not use spaces is the folder path. You should not save the files, for example, in the Tekla Structures folder under the \Program Files folder, because the folder path contains spaces.

  2. Copy all files from ..\Tekla Structures\<version>\bin\applications\Tekla\Tools\dstv2dxf to the folder you created (C:\dstv2dxf).
  3. Create DSTV files and save the files in the in the folder you created (C:\dstv2dxf).
  4. Double-click a suitable dstv2dxf_conversion.bat file.

    The program converts the files to DXF format in the same folder.

    If you need to adjust the conversion settings, modify the settings in the appropriate tekla_dstv2dxf_<env>.def file and restart the conversion. A conversion file description in the PDF format can be found in the same folder as the tekla_dstv2dxf.exe program.

    For a file description in Tekla User Assistance, see tekla_dstv2dxf_<env>.def file description.
