Cad Drawing

I know it's not the primary function of MOI to do 2D cad drawing but it is so easy to do
it's a shame it does not save as .dwg or .dxf will this be done in the future?
I know there is a prog that converts from .3dm to .dxf but it didn't work very well,my circles
became square.

Hi Clegg, I definitely want to add DWG and DXF support for version 2.

For now your best bet will be to use Rhino to do the conversion.

That little program converts everything into a DXF Spline entity, and circles will become a spline that has a value called "weights" assigned to it - it sounds like the program you are importing into does not read the weight values in.

Hi Michael

That's good to hear it will be very useful.
Like so many I find MOI very user friendly and will be using it along side
Modo and Lightwave - great work!
