Please fix the different sections export bug

  • Hi Jeremie,

    I know we are working on improving DWG export for the next release, based on feedback from users.

    Have you got anything specific that I can check is in the pipeline ?

    Thanks

  • Hi Simon, the thing is there have been many post on this forum on what works and what don't and I never saw one defect list to be shared to that is related to dwg export.  The answer was always: "yes we know we are working on it".  I will do my best here:

    Plan:

    - Annotation based on a reference are lost (ex:attache any reference with an alignement, annote it, when exported the annotaion are lost)

    - Drawing model alignement annotation referenced anywhere =  lost annotation when exported

    Profile:

    - drawing model reference in design (default)model = annotation are lost

    - sheet model reference in design model = annotation are lost (but not the same as if you attach a drawing model)

    - corridor surface shown in profile with quick surface tool result in a fatal crash error when trying to export to dwg

    - 3D cut are not exported unless merge into the profile model

    Cross section:

    - cross section drawing model reference in sheet (excepte the one that it was created) result in either a crash or lost information about the slice that it cut.

    I'm pretty sure I can find some more or other could fill in, but still if those points were fixed that will be a "good" start.

     We use to be able to do our "sheet" presentation in design model, clip the references and when we delivered the final, merge everything and export to CAD.  Now it's broken we loose many, many data making the export either impossible or not workable.
