Solidworks 2013 DXF export #1

Closed mmmstew closed 10 years ago

mmmstew commented 10 years ago

I can't seem to export a DXF from Solidworks 2013 that will be recognized by your converter. I've tried two things: export 2D sketch directly from new part, and export 2D sketch directly from drawing. The export from the part simple isn't recognized, while the export from the drawing shows only the drawing template and not the part. I suspect something as simple as the color or layer that is used? Fiddling with various export options doesn't seem to help.

Unfortunatel GitHub only allows upload of GIF/JPG so I have renamed the extension tp .JPG. Hopefully the upload doesn't corrupt the file:

part1 dxf

Regards Mikael

For completeness sake and to make sure the upload doesn't corrupt any files could you please create a repo and upload the DXFs exported with various options? That'd also provide me a wider range of samples to look into. Please make the filenames reflect the related export options. Thanks!

Never mind - the attached file looks legit when opened by QCAD. I plan to look into it on this week.

Apologies, was meant to do this for you at work but got distracted. I now have some DXF exports from Solidworks that work through TTConv, but this remains a hassle to use and took some days of waiting to have installed on the company network due to prohibitive IT policies. If you want I can send these tested DXFs? I very much like the idea of your work..I guess I owe you a beer!

Cheers, Mikael

No problem at all! All your test DXFs would be very much appreciated as more tests help me improve the app. I'm also fine with beers ;)

Ok I've attached a couple test files that didn't seem to convert: No message reported and no preview given.

I have also included corresponding mod files that were generated with TTCONV0.2. I modified the layers in a text editor so that they would appear as board outline, though I left some artifacts (holes) in user layer just as guides for actual drill holes to be detailed in NC drill because they need plating.

I used TTCONV to export .mod files instead of .kicad_pcb files because I had already completed 90% of each PCB and wasn't sure how to transfer my design into a fresh PCB. There is a problem with this that of course you have to fiddle with layers in a text editor and also design rules are ignored, e.g. copper pour does not see board edge. It was a rush job but it worked. Anyhow, you might find them useful..

I can't do anything with these two mod files because dxf2svg2kicad is only supposed to convert DXF and SVG files. Please attach such files upon reporting a bug and possibly open a new issue because your originally attached file already works with the app. Thanks!

mmmstew commented 10 years ago

The mod files were produced by TTConv from the DXF, so I thought they may be of use but it turns out the issue I'm having appears to be with my browser and not the DXF files. It seems IE9 is not compatible with your page whereas Firefox works fine.

Cheers Mikael
