DWGeditor Tips – 2 Great Tips: Balacing your scales – details at other scales and decoding the DXF files – can you count to two? >>

Author: DWGeditor Tips – 2 Great Tips:
*Balacing your scales – details at other scales
|
>>
|
The Challenge: |
| Many parts are relatively large but have much smaller details on them, such as a snap-ring groove on a shaft. If we draw the shaft to scale, then the groove is too small to be adequately seen and dimensioned. We need a detail view at a larger scale. |
*Decoding the DXF files – can you count to two?
|
>>
|
The Challenge: |
| You want to send or receive CAD files to or from other brands of software, or you want to pass your files over to post-processing software. The later case includes the situation where you want to create CNC G-code files or to perform FEA (Finite-Element Analysis) operations based on your CAD files. |
