    • RE: Export For CAM software

      @yvan said:

      The geometries should also be exported as follow:

      1. Create a dynamic component with attributes to be exported in the csv file.

      http://www.catalystinteriors.com.au/images/stories/sketchup/01.png

      1. Select primary face in all components to be machined. (components such as hardware are excluded if no face is selected). Only one face per component can be selected.

      http://www.catalystinteriors.com.au/images/stories/sketchup/02.png

      1. Tooling is set by placing geometries in specific layers. For example vertical drilling with a 5mm bit would be associated with the dxf layer called “DV_5”; Routing offset for external shape with DXF layer “ROX_9” (9 for a 9mm router bit.) any combination of machining can be accomplished by linking tooling “strategies” in the CAM software with DXF layers created by Sketchup.

      1. When the model is ready all “primary” faces are exported as DXF polylines in a specified folder together with the csv file.

      1. The csv file is then used to automate the import in the CAM software (Enroute, Aspan etc...)

      this is very interesting and this process is exactly what i have been looking for?
      i need to be able to select a face of a cabinet, automatically apply the shelf drilling & hinge boring.
      export this as a flat dxf, i have been doing this with a section slice and opening this is in autocad to set
      requirements for cam but the dxf from sketchup comes through with broken segmented lines so i use
      the dxf to trace. can anyone help with this??
