sjj Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Hi all, Does anyone have a work flow for getting parts designed in formz out as a flat drawing? I currently lay the parts down flat on the X Y plane and then open thefile in a top view in layout. My issue that there are always errors: It seems that any form of export from Formz has bunch of issues but this is just into Layout? I'm basically having to redraw all the parts in other apps! I'm i missing something? This is pretty run of the mill flat panel work it should be a piece of cake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Montoya Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 If you avoid using Layout, and just export from FormZ using DWG, it should work fine with the default settings. Hard to say without testing your FMZ files... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barnabythebear Posted October 27, 2018 Share Posted October 27, 2018 Hiya, I use to output my designs to a laser cutter. I transformed all my components to the same plane and then turned them into 2D profiles with the 'Derive Faces' tool and then used the 'Projection' tool to 'flatten' them. I exported to DWG and imported into CorelDraw to output to my laser. Thanks, Nige. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
