Solid Edge frame design
Solid Edge frame design
(OP)
Hello,
I have searched quite thoroughly, but I cannot find any help from internet and this forum.
How can I get drawings in dxf or some other format for laser cutting. I would like to design a frame using the Frame design in Solid Edge ST6. It is quite easy to get the wievs in draft, but how to get drawings for laser cutting.

This will save an associative copy of the selected tube/frame to a part file that can then be individually documented or whatever else you need to do and it will update when you make changes in the Assembly it came from.

Tubes are 3D extrusions and cannot be flattened.
If you have acess laser cutter capable of cutting features on surface of tube you will need to post process cad file.

Programming of that system is no walk in the park unless you can use the built in tools for tube intersections, etc. For this we do generate tube frames in Edge in order to generate drawings. We then derive the center line lengths, intersections and angles from those drawings for input to the CAM Tubing software. NOT a fun process and one I shy away from for anything other than a "large" job.
HTH,
