To translate a model file into a DXF file you must be in the Design module.
If the model that you are going to export is large, then it will be a lot quicker to output the file if you enter the device tty mode rather than the graphics mode of Design. The Design EXPORT commands can be stored in a macro file.
For example:
|
Marine |
From the operating system start Marine. The Marine banner will be displayed. |
|
Enter project name |
|
|
bas |
Enter valid project name |
|
Enter username and password |
Enter your username and password |
|
/SAMPLE |
Select the multiple database |
|
dev tty |
Select tty mode |
|
design |
Enter Design module. The Design banner will be displayed. |
