Generate DXF file

[LittleTome]

Hi, all


We can save drawing as DXF file and there are many export options to chose. At the same time we can use ProOutputFileWrite() to do this work, but I don't know how to use arg1, arg2 and arg3. Can we use the three args to implement the exportoptions like use" Save a copy..." ? Look forward to your replies. Thanks!

A simpler option may be to create a mapkey of saving as a DXF, and making it a toolbar icon.

NOOOOOO! Bad robertib, bad!


As a rule of thumb, if you can do it in Pro/TOOLKIT don't resort to using a mapkey. Mapkeys are too volatile between revisions and builds of Pro. Look at the documentation under Pro/TOOLKIT Objects->ProOutput->ProOutputFileWrite. It has a detailed explanation of which arguments you can use for a dxf file. Here is a code example I wrote for a dxf file:


pro_error = ProOutputFileWrite(pro_Drawing, pro_DxfFileName, PRO_DXF_FILE, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
