T-FLEX CAD allows exporting its 2D drawings and 3D models into other graphical system formats.
Exporting from T-FLEX CAD is supported for the following formats:
Only for 2D drawings:
●Windows Metafiles (*.wmf);
●Enhanced Windows Metafiles (*.emf);
●AutoCAD files (*.dwg);
●AutoCAD DXF files (*.dxf);
●AutoCAD DXB files (*.dxb);
●T-FLEX CAD Metafiles (*.bmf);
●T-FLEX CAD Metafiles without hidden lines (*.bmf).
For 2D drawing and 3D models:
●Raster Image (*.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif, *.tif, *.tiff, *.png);
●Files in PDF format (*.pdf)
Only for 3D models:
3D documents
●Parasolid files (*.xmt_txt);
●Parasolid Binary files (*.xmt_txt);
●STEP (*.stp, *.step);
●IGES ЗD (*.igs, *.iges);
●JT (*.jt)
●ACIS (*.sat, *.sab)
●PRC (*prc);
Mesh geometry
●AutoCAD DXF 3D files (*.dxf);
●Stereo Lithography (*.stl);
●PLY files(*.ply);
●OBJ files(*.obj);
●VRML 2.0 files (*.wrl);
●U3D files(*.u3d);
●X3D files (*.x3d);
●POV-Ray (*.pov);
●Open Inventor files (*.iv);
●Rhino Model (*.3dm);
●IFC (*.ifc);
●3MF (*.3mf);
●T-FLEX Scene files (*tf3d).
When porting models from T-FLEX CAD to other systems and from other systems to T-FLEX CAD, you are strongly advised to prefer the STEP to the IGES format whenever possible as the more advanced one.
Exporting documents
Exporting T-FLEX CAD documents into other system formats is done by the command "EX: Export Drawing Or Model":
Icon |
Ribbon |
|---|---|
|
|
Keyboard |
Textual Menu |
<EX> or <Ctrl><W> |
File > Export |
After calling the command, the dialog with formats available for export appears. You should select one and press [Export] button on the top of the screen.
Next, depending on the selected export format, either the file will be saved at once (as in the formats: Windows Metafiles, Enhanced Windows Metafiles, T-FLEX CAD Metafiles, Metafiles without invisible lines), or additional parameters, described below, must be specified (for all other formats).
AutoCAD system formats: DXF, DXB, DWG
Raster Image (*.bmp, *.jpg, *.gif, *.tif, *.tiff, *.png, *.tga)
Parasolid (*.xmt_txt, *.xmt_bin) Formats
3D Mesh Formats Export Parameters
When models are exported to 3D mesh formats, their geometrical shape is converted into a set of triangular elements. You may control the accuracy of representation which determines the number of triangular elements and thus the export file size.
The same Export Parameters window is used for specifying export parameters for various 3D mesh formats. Depending on the format, the set of parameters may differ.
