that is adjacent to the group. that is adjacent to the shape.DXF and DWG files contain drawing elements. When you import a DXF or DWG file into CADFusion, CADFusion uses the elements from the drawing to define the shapes in your project. The shapes show as a series of connected lines and arcs. Refer to Shapes and Entities for more information.
CADFusion supports arcs, circles, lines, points, polylines, and splines from DXF and DWG drawings.
CADFusion does not support some complex drawing elements or features of complex drawing elements when you import a DXF or DWG drawing.
Table: Complex Drawing Elements
| Element | What Happens When You Import |
|---|---|
|
Bitmaps |
You cannot import bitmaps from a DXF or DWG file. Refer to Bitmaps. |
|
CADFusion does not support blocks. When you import, blocks are exploded and the supported shapes are imported individually. |
|
|
When you import a DXF or DWG file that has hatches, each hatch is exploded and the shapes that result are added to your project. If a hatch has more than one pattern definition, only the first pattern definition is used. |
|
|
CADFusion imports splines. But, a native AeroBasic BEZIER command supports only splines that have three or four control points. All other splines are approximated in AeroBasic with lines and arcs. When you export to AeroScript, all splines are approximated with lines and arcs. |
|
|
Text |
When you import a DXF or DWG file that has text shapes, some properties do not import and are ignored. Refer to Text Shapes. |
When you import a DXF or DWF file into CADFusion, in the Project pane, the Shapes node is the root group in the project. When the import process completes, the identified shapes are collected into groups. All of the shapes on a layer are put into separate subgroups of the root group.
