DXF / DWG
Access: Open this function from one of the following locations:
-
Click the
or button from the
toolbar. -
Select File > Import > Import to New File or Import to Current File from the menu bar.
-
Select File > Export > Export or Export by Pick from the menu bar.
When the Import or Export dialog is displayed, select either DXF or DWG from the Files of Type field.
Import and export files in the DXF and DWG formats (*.dxf or *.dwg) to/from Cimatron.
Cimatron also supports 3D solid DXF / DWG entity types.
Part files, including geometric entities, dimensions and kinds of annotation, levels, masters and their instances, may all be transferred between Cimatron and other systems in the DXF and DWG formats, developed by Autodesk, Inc.
Due to the similarity of the two formats, the conversion interaction to/from Cimatron is identical. This Online Help, therefore, applies to both the formats, DXF and DWG. Wherever DXF is mentioned, it is synonymous with DWG.
For a summary of the Data Interface Import/Export formats supported by Cimatron (including their CAD version numbers), see Cimatron's Import/Export Capabilities at a Glance.
Cimatron retains the settings of the data interface (Import/Export) dialog from its last use, including the menu state (expanded or collapsed) and the tab that was opened.
DWG (Drawing file) is a native binary data format developed by Autodesk, Inc. to store AutoCAD® drawing data.
DXF (Drawing Interchange Format file) is an industry standard neutral data format developed by Autodesk, Inc. that enables digital exchange of information between AutoCAD® and other CAD/CAM systems. All AutoCAD® implementations accept the ASCII DXF format and are able to convert it to and from their internal drawing file (DWG) representation.
