CAD data conversion
CAD-COMPO [ Plug-in for Adobe Illustrator ]
Adobe Illustrator is an excellent software that allows you to draw anything you want with intuitive operation. Did you know that by adding extra tools to it, it can become a great CAD software?
CAD-COMPO is a series of plug-ins that allow you to perform professional CAD tasks (measuring, dimensioning, labeling, DXF export/import, etc.) in Adobe Illustrator.
EXDXF-Pro solves Adobe Illustrator DXF conversion troubles!
Today, CAD software is provided by many manufacturers, and these software are developed to maintain compatibility among CAD software. CAD software and Adobe Illustrator also use this "DXF" file format for data compatibility. However, there are many compatibility problems that occur in such cases.
EXDXF-Pro is equipped with "DXF" export and import functions to solve compatibility problems between CAD software and Adobe Illustrator.
One function of EXDXF-Pro is DXF export.
DXF exported from Adobe Illustrator is imported into CAD and used as data for cutting by machine tools. The most significant feature of using EXDXF-Pro at this time is that the data is exported as DXF in R12 format (AC1009). You can select the line type output (polyline/polyline and arc/line and arc) suitable for various CAD software.
Another function is DXF import.
After converting CAD drawings to "DXF" and importing them into Adobe Illustrator, unnecessary information can be deleted or text can be added to create product manuals and other documents. However, when the "DXF" is imported into Adobe Illustrator, there are some problems such as curves becoming a series of short straight lines or paths becoming a series of connected lines. When "DXF" is imported into Adobe Illustrator, curves become a series of short straight lines or paths are not connected, making it difficult to edit the design.
By using EXDXF-Pro to import DXF data, it is possible to connect points that cannot be processed by Adobe Illustrator's standard import function, connect lines that are close together, and eliminate unnecessary vertices. This allows for smooth design editing.
User Comments
- Major Japanese industrial robot manufacturer
"I create product manuals by importing CAD product drawing data into Illustrator as DXF, deleting unnecessary information, and adding text. I chose EXDXF-Pro because the DXF reading function in Illustrator garbles Japanese characters."
- Domestic Steel Industry
"We use EXDXF-Pro to convert the Irregular data of metal parts given to us by our customers into DXF, load it into CAD, and create data for cutting with a machine tool."
