Re: MI to DWG/DXF

When you stated that the geometry appears in the form of a block, is it a big square? Or is the form of a block termed as the entire drawing converted over is one grouped element?

In AutoCAD you should be able to explode the group (block) into their own elements. Using the group command to explode or delete the group.

Your question is more for the AutoCAD users group than here in the Co-Create users group.

Check this tip out http://www.ellenfinkelstein.com/AutoCAD_tips_groups.html

Hope this helps.

Re: MI to DWG/DXF

thank you for ur time to give suggestion.............but my issue is that am not using Autocad but my vendors are using it and when i give them after converting it into autocad from OSDM they find it difficult to explode them..........especially the scaled assembly drawing with the dimensions.............after exploding in autocad the dimension will show the scaled value and the lines all appear as a group.............this casue them difficult in planning for Wire EDM and Planning for Electrodes...........is there anything i can do from my side in OSDM..............Kindly provide a solution as i have tried changing most of the options in the .con file in dwg translator folder ..............thank you

In case that URL changes in the future, the tip on that page says to set the following in the dxfdwg.con file.

CustomUnits ON
UnitsScale (1/25.4)

As a last resort you might try modifying the drawing before you export to DXF. You could smash all the parts to the top level and see if that eliminates the grouping issue. You could change the scale to 1:1 before export. Not an elegant solution but it might help until you get a better fix for the problem.
