Converting DXF files and correcting "problem spots"

Print this Topic Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

The main step of the import process is the actual conversion of all DXF data, which can be found on the visible layers. Often, not all lines segments in closed regions can be transformed, "problem spots" or conflicts need to be corrected manually.

Click on the arrows in the graphic below to navigate in tutorial 3.

Summary

Imported DXF data is converted into regions with the menu command Tools.DXFConversion or by clicking on the icon in the standard toolbar. All closed regions are automatically inserted into the model page.
By clicking on the Zoom to Conflict icon, the next problem spot is enlarged. There are two types of problem spots : Edges that are not used and line segments which are not closed.
Edges which are not used can be deleted or ignored, and line segments which are not closed can be closed with the Edit tool .
After the conversion and as soon as all problem spots are solved the program skips automatically onto the report page. Even if problem spots still exist, you can open the model page, in which all existing domains are illustrated.
