More importantly these days manufactures are also becoming far more willing to supply the 3D model. I’m fortunate that most of the time if I require a drawing (especially vehicle plans) that it is available via the manufacturer. People still like Floor Plans, so I’m told! Although we do receive drawings in pdf I don’t ever recall having the desperate “need” to have a pdf made into a editable drawing format. SWOOD looks to be close to our requirements (but that’s a whole other story for another time) I also still produce “Floor Plans” for Marketing. This looks to be the case until I can find an acceptable Add-In to SOLIDWORKS which can not only do the job properly but can be made to talk to our CNC. Yes, we still export dxf (and manually nest) for importing into our CAM program – Enroute.

The following table displays the data translation methods available: The CATIA V5 Translator is a separate product.A perpetual SOLIDWORKS license is more cost effective over 3 years and more. For links to help on the various file types, see File Types. You can export SOLIDWORKS documents to a number of formats for use with other applications. File formats - including SolidWorks, AutoDesk and TurboCAD - ready to import.You can import files to the SOLIDWORKS software from other applications.

It is then a simple case of selecting the Browse button, navigating to and selecting the required pdf drawing file. The process then is very straight forward. A fairly minor process and when completed automatically takes you back to the PDF Import screen. Despite having “Registered” my DraftSight account (numerous times in the past) it still insisted that I, in fact, didn’t have an Account and that I was required to register for a “new” Account.

The same can be said about the ability to Scale.To start I choose a PDF drawing which had been generated out of SOLIDWORKS. You do have the option of when and where the file is to inserted. There is no option to deselect the “Insert as Block”. This allows the ability to select either a single page or multiple pages to insert.

Once exploded the file can then be treated as a “normal” drawing format. The page(s) are Inserted as a block which can then be broken by the use of the EXPLODE command (or Modify>Explode). (and the path to the file is still available) It is simple to then insert additional pages if required (or to Browse to a new file). Although I only initially inserted only a single page by going back to the Insert>PDF Import the last file is still displayed.

I had a series of drawings (from a supply which would have been generated from a 3D program) these would insert and display correctly but when exploded they appeared to have some sort of conflict with “Model” and “Sheet”. However not all would “explode” and be usable. All the PDF drawing files I tried Inserted without a problem.

An area that I see, I would most likely make the most use of, is the ability to import text. It appears to import all PDF files. Very Strange and I would think defeats the purpose of inserting the pdf file.PDF Import is not limited to just drawings.

DraftSight would then edit them as it does with any text (created in DraftSight) The PDF Import Add-In for DraftSight is reasonably priced and although it (or the files it Imports) may not always be 100% usable, it looks to be a handy tool to have available directly within DraftSight,Archives Archives Michael stevewcalvert Tony_Heller 3/ after it! stevewcalvert Tony_Heller 2/ Crown of Thorn starfish, phosphorus runoff, silt from the Cains Harbour expansion,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… stevewcalvert Tony_Heller 1/ With the greatest respect Steve, this is the whole problem with the climate debate,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 2 days agoRT Eric_A_Beatty: All 24 presentations from #SLUGME6 SOLIDWORKS Longest User Group Meeting Ever) are now available on the SW_SLUGME Yo… JeffMirisola beneadie MikePuckett stevewcalvert RobRodriguez tahhhd rickyjordan MakerAnna_AZ SOLIDWORKS… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… 5 days agoEnter your email address to follow this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.
