Flat DXF Create a DXF file that can be read into any CAD system that accepts DXF information. SURFCAM will output the image on the screen into a 2D file that can be sent to a 2D or 3D CAD program. When the data is read in, it will appear on the screen exactly the same way it appeared in SURFCAM when the file was made even though the data itself is not 3D data. The data file created will be in the 2D plane only. In order to achieve this, SURFCAM breaks the projected image into 2D lines in the current view. This creates files with only lines in them. |
