Full Version: DXF related question

Show messages: All  1-14  15-18

Howdy Y'all,

Don't know if this is the right thread for my issue, but I used this script to rename some open curves sequentially:
http://moi3d.com/forum/index.php?webtag=MOI&msg=3114.23

Exported them to DXF for use in Blender, but there they all imported as one object.
Is there a better way to accomplish my goal?
I'd rather not have each on a separate layer.

Thanks.,
MindSet

Well... a bit of progress to report:

Discovered a setting in the Blender DXF import dialog-box that allows for the avoidance of item merging.


Of course it does not provide the same sequence value as the original, but at least I can use it❗

Please, let me know if there is a better fix.
I couldn't find information on the other merge options, so I left them at their default.

Hi MindSet, object names do not get written to DXF format because as far as I know there isn't a concept of an object name there.

The main thing that has name labels in DXF is layers, and the style names in MOI should be preserved in the layers list in the generated DXF file.

If you have any DXF files that do import into Blender with object names coming through please send them to me so I can see how they are set up.

Thank you Michael,

Of course you are correct.
Once I found that check box in Blender, I was off and running.

I appreciate you entirely!
