Hey everyone,


I quite often have mold designs that use my 3D and 2D entities and XMD entities. The best way for me to get HLR and plotter output is by going into layout mode and doing HLD and tweaking a line or two here or there. Once I get that layout the way I like it, I have very little luck exporting it so it can be read into other CAD systems. Some of our customers want the 2D design in electronic form.


ANY THOUGHTS would be greatly appreciated.


Kurt

Kurt,
What types of problems are you having?
I export almost everyday 2D geomerty to our CAM system, We are using Feature cam and it imports it nicely.


If you could provide more info I do think that I can help you out!

I only get some of the layout. The layout instance seems to fail to


translate (sometimes). It doesn't always maintain the lines that I have either.

Have you tried bursting everything before you export?

I tried it on the file I was on today and ended up with one of those dreaded


"UE" errors. I typically don't like the results I get from bursting. Also, I don't like


having to regenerate a new layout eveytime I change something.

I can agree with both of those statements!
If you could, Would you send me a file with a layout that you are having trouble with and I will see if I get the same results.


Like I said I export almost every day from layout mode and I veary rearly had problems.
