17:19.29 deltazap grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
17:19.54 deltazap "Improper table entry name on *blah* on line 20"
17:23.13 deltazap qcad isn't displaying anything and autocad craps out on this dxf that had no errors during conversion
17:26.25 deltazap i just don't understand what i'm doing wrong here
17:36.57 IriX64 http://www.pastebin.ca/424248 <-- those two inits not sure here can you help me out.
17:37.00 archivist I had to write a dxf cleaner 10 yeras ago, the spec/implementation is a bit broken in places
17:37.43 IriX64 librt/wdb_obj.c
17:37.51 deltazap that error above is from autocad 2002
17:37.51 IriX64 :)
17:37.59 deltazap but the file opens just fine in pro/e
17:40.44 archivist well is the line a 2003 and up spec line
17:41.07 archivist the dxf format changes over the years
17:42.47 deltazap ;(
17:43.04 deltazap i'm going to bash someone's head in....
17:56.50 deltazap *sigh* this school...
17:57.30 *** join/#brlcad cad38 (n=c1b8597e@bz.bzflag.bz)
18:16.45 IriX64 mea culpa... i looked it up :)
18:36.01 deltazap maybe it's because the demo of qcad won't display my dxf?
18:45.40 IriX64 where'd you get the demo?
18:46.08 deltazap from qcad's site
18:46.33 deltazap maybe there's just something that i'm missing about either the export or qcad
18:49.01 deltazap is there a certain way the model has to be orientated in brlcad in order to export to dxf properly?
19:05.18 IriX64 are you specifing objects?
19:07.17 deltazap yeah, i am, i'm specifing the combination of the model
19:07.24 IriX64 http://www.pastebin.ca/424368 <--- this is what it supports in way of options, but you probably already have this
19:07.57 deltazap yeah, i've read over the man page
19:08.19 IriX64 and qcad won't load it at all or its farkled?
19:08.29 deltazap it loads it, but nothing shows up
19:08.43 IriX64 does acad show it properly?
19:09.02 deltazap acad?
19:09.17 IriX64 thought you had a copy of acad too?
19:09.24 deltazap oh, autocad
19:09.29 IriX64 yeah
19:09.32 IriX64 sorry
19:10.05 deltazap the version of autocad we have at the school is autocad 2002, which i just found out that the converter for brlcad outputs the newer style of dxf
19:10.19 deltazap so, autocad is out of the question right now
19:10.48 IriX64 autodesk must a a way
19:10.51 IriX64 have
19:11.20 deltazap i'm sure if we had the newest version of autocad it wouldn't be a problem
19:11.32 deltazap but pro/e opens the dxf with no problem, even creates the 3d model if i choose
19:11.40 IriX64 what are you trying to export?
19:12.12 deltazap it's a model of some landing skids i made in brlcad for the model helicopter we use
19:12.29 IriX64 windows or unix brlcad?
19:12.33 deltazap unix
19:12.57 IriX64 any warnings or errors from g-dxf?
19:13.06 deltazap none that i saw
19:13.16 IriX64 try another model
19:13.29 IriX64 one of the examples...m35 or something
19:18.32 deltazap i think i just found the problem :X
19:19.06 deltazap the OSX version on the sourceforge page...7.6.6
19:20.50 deltazap Changes from release 7.6.8 to release 7.8.0 include:
19:20.51 deltazap * fixed g-dxf export compatibility issue
19:20.53 deltazap D'OH
19:21.27 IriX64 guess the included readme didn't holler loud enough :)
