Export

This function allows the user to export the created design in a variety of different formats. Export

Usage​

Geometry-Type​

In this case, Geometry type refers to the type of geometry to select

BRep​

Exports bodies in the BRep format (spheres and cylinders) that have been created using the LDS plugin, to different formats such as .DXF,.JSON and .STP

Sketch-Lines​

Exports bodies in the 'Sketch-Line' format (construction lines) that have been created using the LDS plugin, to different formats such as .DXF,.JSON and .STP

Export name​

Name that will be given to the created file, regardless of extension.

Folder Location​

This field contains the location to which the file will be exported. It can be filled-in manually or using the 'browse' button

Browse Button​

Allows the user to select an export location by navigating the file system using a file explorer instead of manually typing-in the path. This will open the default-browser of the system.

Different file formats​

DXF​

DXF (Drawing Exchange Format), is a file format developed by Autodesk for enabling data interoperability between CAD software, primarily used for 2D and 3D drawings.

JSON​

This file format, generated by the LDS plugin gives a representation of the geometry as a set of coordinates representing vertices and then edges represented by a connection between two of those vertices.

STEP​

STEP (Standard for the Exchange of Product Model Data) is standardized file format used for representing 3D product data, supporting the exchange of complex models across various CAD systems.
