export to DXF

edited August 2025 in General

The DXF export result contains many lines, even though the object is only one.

    I think the dxf exporter, basically just converts an svg to an dxf.
    In the SVG there are double lines a lot of times, as there's a line for the cut, and the projection line beyond.
    ...
    I had a conversation with AI awhile back about using ezdxf to remove these double lines, not sure how straightforward it would be, or not.

    ping @elschilling the resident dxf master. ;)

  • I think in this case the 2 projected lines are the two edges of the face that is perpendicular to the camera used for projecting the object, so IMO not really a "bug". Running an algorithm to fix it would likely be computationally intensive (for heavy files at least), in simple cases where the lines are equal in length it is quite easy but there are a lot of edge cases.
