Export to DXF

[cubalibre000]

Hi,
I'm using the journal located here, but generate two files, one of 80kb and the other of 48Mb.
If I use File->Export->2D Exchange, 600kb.
I would like a dxf correct with correct dimension.
Attached parts used to test.

Thank you...

Something changed in NX 8 that caused dxf files created with that journal to balloon in size. If you are running NX 8.5, you can add the following line in the ExportDXF subroutine:

dxfdwgCreator1.ExportAs = DxfdwgCreator.ExportAsOption.ThreeD

I have found no good fix for NX 8, but you might try the different AutoCAD revision options to see if they have any effect. The code was originally written for NX6 when the 2004 output option gave the best results, perhaps one of the newer options would work better for your needs.

My comments apply to NX 8.5, not NX 8 as indicated in my first post. In my testing, NX8 works ok.

That said, if 2D exchange is working for you, I would encourage you to use that instead. The journal was created because a straight "export dxf" used to give inconsistent/undesired results. Over the years some features were added to the code, but ultimately it is still just an automated 'work-around'. The use of Siemens supplied/tested code should take precedence over this journal.

OK,
it's possible to create a journal that automatize the dxf export, using the 2D exchange tool ?

Thank you...

Where I need to put, because I report an error with this added string.
Sub ExportDXF(ByVal inputFile As String, ByVal outputFile As String)

Dim dxfdwgCreator1 As DxfdwgCreator
dxfdwgCreator1.ExportAs = DxfdwgCreator.ExportAsOption.ThreeD
dxfdwgCreator1 = theSession.DexManager.CreateDxfdwgCreator()
dxfdwgCreator1.SettingsFile = dxfSettingsFile
dxfdwgCreator1.InputFile = inputFile
dxfdwgCreator1.OutputFile = outputFile

Thank you...

The .ExportAs option is only available in NX 8.5. If you are still running NX8, as indicated in your sig line, don't add it because it won't work.
