WRITE NOTES INTO A SAVED DXF WITH iLOGIC

[john.vanderhoven]

Hi, I hope this has not be addressed before?

I would like to write some txt into a DXF when I save it from a sheet metal part. Things like "MATERIAL=AISI 304, THICKNESS=2MM, FINISH=2B, QTY=3" I have used some code from Clint Brown (thank you Clint) to create the DXF file but I'm just to new to iLogic to figure out how to do this. I have looked and looked but just cant find anything. Any help will be appreciated. Tks John

Hi John,

On 2023, there is a new feature call "Mark" feature. It creates a single-line or double-line text etching on the sheet metal body (kind of like zero depth Emboss). It can be applied to the folded body and the flat pattern body. Also, it can be shown in the drawing.

Many thanks!

Hi, I don't have 2023 as yet. But thank you for the note.

Here is an ilogic post to target a sheetmetal part picked in an assembly and write to the DXF after it has being exported. If you need any help adapting it just let us know. Don't forget to kudos the solver as it is a complex task that they made easy. Don't forget to test on a non production part and there is settings embeded in the code for the DXF output that may not be the same as you need.

Hi Alan, thank you I will take a look.

Hi! I was just wondering if you got this to work and if you would share your code? We currently do this by saving the .idw file with a text block on it to a dxf, but I'm wondering if this might be a better way to go.
Thanks!
