Ok, problem fixed by now by the sounds of it. All other programs open it properly, so this shows there is a problem with DraftSight's DXF parsing module or with the display module. It's incorrectly parsing the file my designer gave me. I wrote UniCAM, which became a Tecnomatix product, which then became a Seimens product.ĭraftSight has a parsing or display bug.
DXF VIEWER FOR MAC FREE SOFTWARE
I co-wrote the following CAD/CAM software when I was a C++ Developer: Circa 2000 or so.Īs an interesting aside, I have a former career in this general area, so I kind of know what's going on under the hood. The DXF files were generated by AutoCAD, though I suspect it was an older version of AutoCAD my designer used. SolidWorks opened it correctly as did a number of other independent programs that didn't have the features I needed to perform the work. It's a parsing error because all the other programs I tried parsed and then displayed the file correctly. I need to get these CAD files made up so a local printer can print them out.Ĭan anyone help in any way? Does anyone know how I can do this on OS X? Does anyone know if there is a place you can rent an AutoCAD workstation by the hour? I'm losing my mind here because this ate an entire day I should have been working on the boat. Solid Works eDrawings opens a beautiful file, but doesn't allow cropping or DXF or DWG saves. I spent 5 hours downloading it today.ĭraftSight, which runs on the computer and has all the right capabilities only shows a blank drawing when it opens the files. It aborts after a hardware check instead of allowing me to run it poorly but at least save the files.

However, there are no programs that will work for this INCLUDING F'N AUTOCAD FOR MAC!!!!ĪutoCAD for Mac won't install on my admittedly improperly configured Mac, but this is BS. I need to open these files, turn on a single layer for one bulkhead, zoom in and crop, then save the file as DWG or DXF. I just spent 10 hours trying to get some *****NG AutoCAD files ready for a printer and I can't do it.īasically, I have some DWG and DXF files for my bulkheads.
