Filling Splines in Drafting
Filling Splines in Drafting
(OP)
I have a name tag I am trying to make with another companies logo on it. We have the logo as a .dxf. When I import it into NX, it comes in as lines and splines. When I try to fill these in drafting mode to a solid color, it will not let me fill all of them for some reason. I have tried everything I can think of, but still cant seem to figure it out. I wasn't sure if anyone had tricks on how to get this to work?
Thanks,
Chad

Autocad has an object type called "Poly Line" which i think is a degree 1 spline, i.e a spline where the shape is a "line" (linear in correct words) between the points.
if / when this is converted into lines arcs there will be very many lines created, with as many possible junction problems.
Autocad data also , in my experience, quite often is drawn in different parallel planes, what looks like say X-Y is X-Y but with offsets.
I don't know if NX has a checking tool for flatness so instead i Project the curves to a plane.
Then the next problem is to verify duplicates.
The method i use is Edit- Hide... then i zoom in and single select one curve at a time walking around the entire profile and when everything is highlighted press OK.
What then remains on the screen is probably duplicates and should (?) be deleted.

Tomas
