General Usage Instructions

Create a 3D model of the product. Use only 3D-solids. All parts must have a basic flat surface. You can arrange the parts into layers with the names of materials or assign materials as for rendering. For placement fasteners use the convenient program Fixture. For cutting dadoes and pockets - use the program Dado Joint. To prepare the holes use the program Drill.
 
Call the DXFExport command. The program will ask you to select the necessary solid-details. You can choose the details in advance. You can inadvertently select texts and 2D objects, the program will not swear but simply ignore them. In the settings you can specify the layers, the details of which will be ignored.
 
In the selection request, you will see 2 options: SwitchStyle and TUNE. See the Customization section.
  • SwitchStyle - quickly switch all DXF export settings by style number. The settings of the СNC commands and Lay-style remain the same.
  • TUNE - open a dialog with all settings.
After selecting objects, the program will do everything itself. Perhaps you will have time to notice how the program puts solids at the origin, makes the outlines. In the event of malfunctions, these temporary objects may be saved in the drawing.
You can abort the command using the Esc key.
Depending on the settings, the program will create the necessary folders and dxf-files and display statistics on the command line.
By default, after the export operation, the resulting dxf file will be opened. You can disable this feature. If you receive several dxf files the program will open the dialog with a list of all files and buttons for opening the selected file, all files and opening a folder in the explorer.
