Pobo Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Is it possible that something has changed in the way FormZ exports to DWG? I think it used to be that the origin stayed at the origin when exported. But I think that now FormZ takes the centre of the bounding box of the artwork and then puts that at the origin of the exported DWG. I actually preferred things the way they were. Now I've got to figure out how to accurately translate things back to where they're supposed to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tech Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Hi Pobo, formZ will never change the origin of an imported file -- unless you set a transformation in the Export Options: If you set it as shown above, does that do what you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pobo Posted June 21, 2016 Author Share Posted June 21, 2016 Strange. I made this 10x10mm test square with its bottom left corner in the origin. When I export it to DWG and then open this DWG in Illustrator, suddenly the square is centred around the bottom left hand corner of the Illustrator page. I expected the square to have its bottom left corner in the bottom left corner of the page. I attach some screenshots and the file.

Tech Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Pobo, Illustrator may center it. We do not... Also make sure to use Export (not Export Image). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
