Hi Martin,

Just thought I would report these two items which do not seem quite right, regarding DXF output files from the TDV. :?

1.          The template number overlaps the timber numbering, (see attached file).

2.          The template title is displayed right across the middle of the file, instead of, perhaps, just above or just below the drawing.

I have attached a sample DXF file for you viewing.

All the best,

Brian Nicholls.

Hi Brian,

The timber numbers are overlapping because the font is too large. Go to output > output drawing options > timber numbering > font for timber numbering... menu item and set a smaller font.

The template name label appears in the same position as on the workpad. Click on the template and then move name label on its menu. You can then drag the label to wherever you want it. Or click arrange name labels to arrange them in neat columns or rows. See also group > mouse action: move labels menu item.

Then try exporting the DXF again. :)

If you don't actually need these features in the DXF, simply select none as the colour for them on the DXF dialog.

None of this has changed in TDV or in recent versions.

The appearance of text from DXF files can vary a lot in different CAD programs, so some trial and error is usually needed.

regards,

Martin.

Hi Martin,

Many thanks for the prompt reply.

Will do as you suggest, I’ve no doubt it will work fine, that’s a bit more knowledge I’ve learned.

Thanks again, glad it’s not more work for you in trying to solve another bug.

All the best,

Brian Nicholls.
