Export DXF options.
Note: Some CAD systems may not read newer DXF files; ACE outputs an optimized DXF file that is compatible with most systems.
Note: If you require a Flat DXF file without blocks, check option "Flatten Hierarchy" (may cause extremely large DXF files).
Note: To create a DXF file with re-entrant polygons check option "Flatten Composite" (may be time consuming).
Export DXF Options:
Text Output:
|
Specify how to output DXF text (if any): Standard: Text will be outputted as DXF text. Ignore: Text will be omitted from the DXF file. Explode: Text will be exploded, and output as polygons. |
Create Outlines for Wide Polylines: |
Create polygon outlines for all paths. |
Flatten Hierarchy:
|
Outputs DXF files without any hierarchy. Useful for DXF files that must be read into older systems, or 3d simulation software that does not support hierarchy. |
Flatten Composite: |
Converts a Polygon with holes (ie. clear areas) into re-entrant polygons. (Due to its complexity, this feature may be time consuming during the conversion) |
Fill Option: |
For documentation purposes it can be desired to have the DXF file appear exactly the same as a gerber file (i.e. filled polygons, composites). None: Export with Gemotries, No Filling (Default) Using Solid Hatch: Export with Geometries, Fill using Solid Hatch Using Solid Hatch (Only): Export No Geometries, Fill using Solid Hatch Using Multiple Solids: Export Geometries, Fill using solid triangles Using Multiple Solids (Only): Export No Gemotries, Fill using solid triangles |
