Contour Polyline to AutoCAD

Post by gordonired »

Hi Daniel, first of all I would like to thank you for this piece of software. I have become a big fan of it, and am wanting to start using in our workflows at my company. I am having an issue right now extracting contour polylines taken from a point cloud using the cross section tool. I am saving the contour as a .dxf file, and attempting to import it into AutoCAD, with no success. I have tried other CAD softwares (Spaceclaim) and still do not see the lines.

While searching for an answer, I downloaded the .dxf file mentioned in this post: http://www.danielgm.net/cc/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2388
I was able to import that .dxf file successfully into both CAD programs. I am using the newest version of CC. I have attached the saved .dxf of the contour (right.dxf), and can host or e-mail the point cloud slice (272KB) if you would like view it.
I look forward to any help you might offer, thank you.

Are you using the 2.9.1 version? (the DXF output was broken in the 2.9 version and the 2.9.1 version has been released a few days ago to fix exactly that ;).
