WriteDXF allows PTC Mathcad users to create 3D models mathematically then save them as DXF files, perfectly suited for incorporation into CAD assemblies.
AutoCAD DXF (Drawing Interchange Format, or Drawing Exchange Format) is a CAD data file format developed by Autodesk for enabling data interoperability between AutoCAD and other programs. In this example we are using PTC Mathcad Prime 3.0 to generate DXF files and then viewing them in PTC Creo.
PTC Mathcad generated DXF files are raw, unstructured quad surfaces by the vertices (ordered by the right-hand rule) of the quads using a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system and a color per facet. DXF colors must be positive numbers between 0-256. This is commonly known as pseudo code.
