In my system, the file in question is at "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.78\scripts\addons\io_export_dxf\primitive_exporters\mesh_exporter.py" and the bad line is around line 50 return self._standard_way(drawing, me, mx, mx_n) I really needed the layer info to control my cnc router so I learnt enough Python in a day to discover that the KWARGS weren't being passed into one of the routines in the script mesh_exporter.py Everything was just being exported as layer 0. The Add-on that performs this export has a bug that stopped the dxf layer name being exported when I tried it. STL such as supported/unsupported features and also if anyone has ever worked through the process I would be grateful to hear.

Any information regarding Blender3D exporting files in. STL file types - a file type found in SketchUp and also used effectively by pro/ENGINEER. Similarly if anyone knows of a specific location for specialists of this nature feel free to post, thanks.Īfter a quick conversation with my AutoCAD engineers, they tell me they are most comfortable using. I suspect that this thread is talking about the predecessor of the export options mentioned bellow and I can now simply export as DWG/DXF format without having to use too many complex options? Is the extension now shipped with Blender or is it still a "plug in"? Again, this is quite a specialised and highly specific issue so thanks for the perseverance. My designs will contain a level of detail but will effectively (I hope) be just the external (single) skin mesh.Īfter several days of searching, I find the following add on/extension.

I am looking to use blender to design some basic human modelling and hoping to have my designs manufactured by injection molding.īefore I buy a new PC and invest a year or so of my time finding my way around Blender I would like confirmation of the processes and possibly some examples of how easy/hard it is to export a blender design/file so it can be opened by an autocad operative to begin the manufacturing process.
