Inautocad 2013 is the best way still to convert data you have connected to, for example a shapefile, as feature data in order to convert that into polylines and text is the best method saving it all as a seperate drawing using the "save as autocad drawing command"? Is there way to do it individually in the current drawing so that I do not always have to be saving things out as seperate drawings and then copy and pasting them back into my working drawing?
I guess that really is the second best alternative, is there any more other than doing the save as drawing command and the check out feature geometery command you suggested. Just looking at all my opitions.
Thanks for interest! Basically for years I have been using the command Mapimport to bring in shapefile data into drawings because it created for me real polylines and points which I could then save my drawing and email it to a client as needed. I have randomly fooled around with connecting to the shapefile data through the taskpane and apply styles and creating labels for some of the data that is attached. I usually about 99% of the time just use the mapimport command because it is easier to work with and send to people but I just wanted to try the other way and see what my options are currently.
Basically i just wanted to know all my options on converting feature data into real polylines, text, and such and see which one I thought was best. So far I guess I like the "Save as drawing command"... I wish there was an option to just "Save as real polylines, text, and hatches, inside current drawing command".
Hi there, has anybody any information about converting blender files into CAD (autocad) formats to get them produced by machines? are there export-formats of blender whcih can be converted into cad? any experiences?
cad formats are e.g .dwg .dxf .dxb .dwf
Thanks very much!
regards
Though i used curves, converted them to meshes and the resulting mesh had a ton of geometry so the cnc machine ran out of memory while trying to load the file so it had to be done in pieces, but yes it works.
Hey Every one,im new to python and Blender,i currently have a number of Autocad packages and patents ,i have just finished my Anti-Gravity design and modeling of my project,im about to go into Marketing in October,but the Market research team would like a comprehensive look at how my Antigravity Design works.
What i want to know is if it is possible to take my Autocad files and give them life using python and Blender,since i am new to this i will most likely find some one that can help me Animate my design on a professional level,i need to do this before september,because there will be a board room conference held for me to explain the fundementals of how my machine works,i need to be able to bring my Autocad files to life as it does in Reality,it would be much appreciated if some one would contact me directly ,my email address is
incon...@mailforce.net,it would be much appreciated!
The autocad format like dxf dwg or other are only a specific autocad format. most of common mesh format are similar and interchangeable, but when you say Blender to CAD, this mean a lot of thing. Personally I use Blender as CAD, and for exchange file is not always simple and it depend on your needs, for Nurbs CAD there are many ways, for simple mesh planar, you can save the file in fbx, for autocad or dxf with the addon, if you need a nurbs file there are three ways one is using freeship, an other Fusion 360 and the last this Moi3d, all previous this need a mesh ready for the subdivision.

How can I convert cad file with different layers to specific feature classes for ex. Layers 2000 , 2001 ,2002 I want to convert them together to a polygon feature class with name buildings , and convert layers 2003 , 2004 together to another feature class with name parcels ?
Thank you for your quieck answer , but i do not want just to convert from cad to gis i want to convert groups of different layers in autocad to different feature classes in gis as i explained before .
In AutoCAD, do you have access to the MapExport command? This command will allow you to select individual lines, points and polygons in AutoCAD and export to a shapefile. Which then could be exported to a feature class.
I have a 3D CAD drawing consisting mostly of disconnected lines and a few circles - see screenshot. When I try to export it to IFC with AutoCAD, all it outputs are six small circles which aren't even visible in AutoCAD on import (only Solibri Model Viewer), so I'm trying to do it with FME.
I've played around with an autocad-to-ifc tutorial* however I'm not really getting anywhere. Right now I'm using the 3D enforcer with autocad_extended_data0.world_position0.z and that seems to elevate the lines properly in the inspector. However both autocad_shape_height or autocad_extrusion_z do the same, so I have no idea which would be the right one to pick.
Hello i am trying to install a dwg converter in endless os but i cant
