problemi con drag and drop dxf su dft

[Looz]

Hello everyone,
I would like to make a sort of nesting on a dft file, or combine different dxf files into a new unique file.
However when I go drag and drop the file inside the open window of the dft always pastes me the first file I used, as if it remained in memory only that.

I also tried to do it in the environment of the "model 2d" but it doesn't change anything, after the first file always pastes me that, whatever the file they select from the folder.

How can I solve this?

thanks in advance to all!:wink:

try to open other files in different dft files and do copy-paste from them, it should work

 

[Davimont]

just tried in different ways and different models.
He's pulling me in the dxf without a problem. I can place n pieces until I pop out on the keyboard or I go to get an atro dxf.

I have to try to call the assistance then.

you in that way rightly can do it, and unfortunately it is the method I am using right now. :-/


Thank you guys!

I'm on st6, you? Maybe write it in the info under your avatar.
installed? Are you with the latest one?
if you are updated and the procedure you use is correct (sometimes, for a click less or too, you lose) then you may ask in assistance. Maybe he's waiting for some more opinion.

Bye.
try to explain better, step by step, what is the procedure you follow (the starting files are dxf? What do you open them with? with solid edge? Do you really drag&drop or do copy and paste? What do you copy, view or model 2d? .... )

what I would follow (and that works) is the following:

• I open a new draft (which will be the target)
• open the first dxf with solid edge, select all design in model 2d (not on sheet) and copy
• back to the new draft and take-off in model 2d
• I open another dxf... and so forth

I have to add, however, that in the past I happened a few isolated cases in which I actually couldn't copy a drawing or a view and if I glued it came back out that copied earlier.
I was never able to accurately identify what it was, but there was something in some views (usually in portions of these) that prevented its copying; I usually solved by copying them to pieces, leaving the part that was not copied and then redesigned.
I hope I could explain.

Are dxf blocks or explosions? if they are blocks with the same name as "st1" , it happens as in autocad when it amounts to them that before or you explode or renounce them otherwise if they have the same name the connection always remains to the first inserted

Hi.
I use the version st7 mp2, the file is dxf with different names.
in practice I open the folder with the files on one side of the screen, select the file and drag it into an empty dft just opened; as soon as I release the button appears to me the drawing in lock that then I arrange to unlock and change.

if I try to repeat the operation on the same open dft, even selecting another file from the folder, when I release the button always pastes me the same file first.


However I noticed that if I save them individually as dxf from solid edge and then do the drag and drop as described above, it actually makes me insert the files as I would like, although I don’t understand why!....they are still dxf files with different names like before!:-/


other thing, if I change color to a wireframe in 2d and then save in dwg or dxf does not keep the color on the target file.

Thank you.

I have simulated what you do and I understand the problem.

in your dxf geometries are in blocks that have the same name (if they are generated with solid edge example they are called if1 se2 etc) , careful that it does not have the name of the dxf file but only the name of the block inside the dxf. then you do not have to drag the entire dxf file inside the dft but you have to open the dxf explode the block , select the geometries and then paste.

 

[Be_on_edge]

you can take blocks from dxf and dwg files directly from the inside of solid edge without where to make conversions or other things.

in the pathfinder you go to the "free" tab, scroll and select the dwg\dxf file that contains the blocks (select the button "show blocks" if it is not already) and in the lower part will be shown the blocks of the currently open dft and the selected dwg\dxf.

from here you can insert everything you want.

I add that already from some version it is possible to create "intelligent" blocks or to each insert go to compile some properties of the block. these properties can then be used to create distinct base.

In the specific use to create hydraulic diagrams, I have for example the block "valve valve" that when I insert it asks me the size. creating the distinct symbols I will have these valves grouped by size with the appropriate quantities.

I think this depends on how the dft --> dxf/dwg color conversion is set in the seacad.ini file.
Simply change it by pressing the options button in the save window by name, after selecting the dxf/dwg format.

you should also check the options of the opposite conversion (dxf/dwg --> dft) with the same options button, but when you open a dxf (with the open function, not double-clicking).

I tried with the be_on_edge method and it is definitely faster than going to open on individual dfts all files, explode them, copy them and paste them.
Just look for the desired folder with all files on the library card in the open dft and select from "lock" the desired design part.

I also solved with the color thanks to the indications of apegana.

Thank you all for your help!
