Hi all,

The title says it all, I am looking for a .DXF 3d file of the 442e, 442 or book frame.

I hope somebody can help me with it.

Thanks!

Any other file formats you can work with? I have solidworks files I can convert to many different formats but dxf 3d is not one of them.

A .vap or .sdt/sdnf could also work.

Thanks!

The picture has the SW2014 part save options. What program are you trying to pull the info into?
Trying to help....

Thanks Paul for your imput,

We are looking to work with Visual Analysis from IES.

Thanks again,

Yohan

so can it read IGES, STEP, ACIS, or Parasolid?

Hi,

Just to let people know I found that Grape can save the files in DXF. You just have to do ''save as'' and it is done. It can then be exported in many different software. We tried it and the only thing is the nodes and element comming from Grape cannot be changed but it is possible to add new things.

Have a great day!

OK,
I can convert my frame assembly to a single part, then export as DXF.
PM me with your email address and I will send it to you.

OK, that doesnt work. It flattens the view to 2D.

Is the frame drawings in 3d as DWG's. Not hard to convert to DXF. Might require downloading draftsight.

It looks like there's a related product called ShapeBuilder that can import the fairly-standard IGES and STEP formats and can pop that model into VisualAnalysis. Do you have access to ShapeBuilder?
