DXF File Question
I have a dxf file that contains all cutouts that I require. When I import the dxf file, it only sees the exterior shape, and not any of the cutouts. Am I doing something wrong?
Posted By: kinterke on Oct 29, 2013 03:36PM Category: Front Panel Designer
Hello,
Front Panel Designer differentiates between exterior and interior shapes. This allows you to import something quickly and position it independently.
However, a completed design from a different software requires a two step dxf import. One for the exterior and the other for everything else.
The exterior import can be done in 'Front Panel Properties' by selecting 'free shape from dxf file' in basic shape. Once you have completed the panel shape the cutouts can be imported ('insert free contour' in the tool bar.) You can split your cutout import by right-clicking on it. This gives 'split free contour' and allows you to select tools individually.
Have a look at one of our older newsletters
Please let me know if you need any support with your project. This can be a little confusing when you import a dxf the first time. We are more than happy to help you with the conversion into our software.
Best regards,
Diane

origin
All of a sudden with version 4.31 the origin when creating a new panel seems to be set willy-nilly. Never at a the bottom left corner as it used to be. Is it me or is there a reason for this?
Thanks,
REPH

Hello,
No, there is no reason for it and I can't replicate it on my Windows installation. Do you run on Windows?
Until we have figured this out, quick fix is shortcut n + 1 (on number pad). This will bring the origing in the lower left corner. Imagine the number pad as your panel; upper left corner = 7, center = 5, lower right = 3, etc.
Best regards,
Diane

ReplyI saw the same thing running Win 7 until I went into the Settings menu, set X origin and Y origin to zero (they already showed as zero but did it anyway) then ticked the "Use as default" box. Now it seems to be okay. All new designs put the origin in the lower left corner as desired.

ReplyI did that myself and it worked. But it would only work if there was a panel defined. Perhaps the "default" settings could be changed before a panel needs to be defined.
