Ahhhh. Didnt notice the units set on the file posted in the first thread.. Assumptions....

With the dixf I used the 3d curves, cubic splines export and imported that over the top of the solid so I could dim the solid model up...

Thanks for the help...

This is an interesting topic. I don't have ViaCAD but I have TurboCAD and SolidWorks and I wanted to see what results I would get. TurboCAD would open the native 3dm file but would not dimension the circles and arcs as they were not recognized as such. Same with the SAT file. Although SolidWorks would open the native 3dm file it worked best with the SAT file. SAT import asked for what units the user wanted to assign and would recognize and could dimension everything.

I think it would be great if at some point Michael added the ability to create the dimensioned drawings right in MoI.

Vicad doesn't handle precise curves conversion on model to sheet, this is a feature for shark only, so, arcs and splines are only acquired on model to sheet in shark, on VIACAD you can only get polylines
