Generating all DXF files

You can start this function by clicking on the button in the sheets manager .

Parabuild will only create Dxf files for plates. These Dxf files are only meant for plate machines (laser, plasma) that only have 2D capacity.

The Dxf files will be stored in the same folder as the location of the 3D dwg file.

To change the settings of the Dstv files, you need to click the button in the sheets manager .

In the list you need to click on General, so that in the bottom of the dialog box you can click on the button next to DXF Settings.

In this dialog box you can change the following settings :

• Add part pos number. The position number of the plate will be added as text to the Dxf file so that the machine can engrave it on the plate.
• Add weld contours. The circumference of the touching face of the plate with another part will be engraved by the machine.
• Layer for xxx. Enter the layer name that the machine expects, if necessary.
• Color for xxx. Enter the color number that the machine expects. Some machines expect another color number for the circumference than for holes.
