Question

Dxf Export from DWG Automation

I'm generating a dxf from Creo Drawing using the Config.pro & DXF_Export.pro setting. But, when I launch the dxf from the Autodesk Dwg TrueViewer, the picture was zoomed to a small portion of the dxf file and is a white block, as shown in the attachment (Error.jpg). I don't know what in my config.pro or Dxf_export.pro is triggering this error. The real issue is when I'm trying to save the dxf to pdf, its creating a blank page at the beginning and later the actual drawing in the second page.

 

Config.pro Settings: Attachment Config-Issue.Pro

Dxf_export.pro settings : 

map_color BACKGROUND_COLOR 186
map_color DIMMED_COLOR 7
map_color LETTER_COLOR 7
map_color HIGHLIGHT_COLOR 7
map_color EDGE_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR 7
map_color GEOMETRY_COLOR 7
map_color HIDDEN_COLOR 7
map_color SHEETMETAL_COLOR 7
map_color CURVE_COLOR 7
map_color VOLUME_COLOR 7
map_color SECTION_COLOR 7

Hi,

please upload Creo drawing (+ all related files) for testing purposes.

Q: Does your Creo drawing contain bitmap picture ?

Hi Martin,

Thanks for responding on my issue. Please find the attachment for the requested files and let me know if you need more details.

Q/A: It's not a bitmap picture on that attachment, but I think that's what creating a blank page in the beginning of the document. Because I don't have that white spot on other dxf's, which don't have issue in the pdf generation.

Thanks for your response. Please find the attachment for the requested files and let me know if you have trouble accessing these files. Could you also include the screenshots of the error messages, if having issues accessing the files, so that it could be easy for me to understand what files are missing from the zip.

Hi,

  • I dowloaded Testing.zip and unzipped it into new empty directory
  • I put your config.pro and dxf_export.pro files into the same directory
  • I launched Creo 4.0 M020 in the same directory
  • I opened f000898-1.drw drawing
  • I exported the drawing into f000898-1_mh01.dxf ... DXF export was set to "Current Sheet as model space" by default ... see f000898-1_mh01.dxf attachment
  • If I open f000898-1_mh01.dxf in DWG TrueView 2019 ... I can't see any problem

Conclusion: I do not see any problem.
