So they have to be exported in the most earliest DXF vesrion ( R13 I think ), so the spline ARE needed to be converted to short line segments.in other words, I had to make the translator more dumberĪ DXF file can be viewed using a text editor, you could compare each file as to what they contain. I have used software that cannot use splines,( nurbs, polylines etc). is there an option to set the DXF export release version on each? import back into 3Dmax.are the splines retained ? well it could be the other way around the exporter out of max doing something funny? no way to really tell i suppose.only options i get when exporting are for different autocad versions 2010, 2013 etc.all seem to give the same result.Do a test to find which is incorrectģDmax spline. Problem- BobCad Software can't read it's own filesĮDIT.Need Help!- what files does bobcad ver.Autodesk Inventor Fusion files won't render properly with Mastercam.well it could be the other way around the exporter out of max doing something funny? no way to really tell i suppose.only options i get when exporting are for different autocad versions 2010, 2013 etc.all seem to give the same result. so that leads me to thinking that bobcad is not reading in dxf filetypes correctly then?ĮDIT. If i export a dxf out of bobcad and import that into 3dmax it comes in just as it was in bobcad, smoothed bezier curves.

Was curious as to why bobcad doesnt read in dxf splines properly.Īs an example from a previous post.I do my drawing of splines in 3dmax and export as dxf from there and merge or open in bobcad.but anything arced comes in as tiny straight line segments rather than a smooth arc segment.
