This feature was introduced in version 6.0.0.
You can export cutting diagrams drawings into SVG or DXF files. This feature is useful, in particular, to transfer cutting diagrams to other CNC or laser cutter software.
Each panel (or bar) of the cutting diagram will be exported in a separate file. All files will be placed in a common directory, which will be named according to the name of the material and the thickness (or section).
After generating a cutting diagram and clicking on the Export button, a configuration dialog appears.
Cutting diagrams can be exported in the following formats:
SVG : Scalable Vector Graphics
DXF : AutoCAD DXF
DXF Structure : Layer or Layer + Block
DXF opens a special field called DXF Structure that allows you to define how the output file is build.
By default, OpenCutList uses one DXF layer part depth identified in part drawing.
If you select Layer + Block, each part is drawn in its own block. This feature provides more flexibility for editing the diagram in a CAD software.
Unit : Define the unit used in the exported file.
Smoothing : Smooth circles and arcs. Learn more.
Merging Mode : Learn more
Default : The part shape is exported with one layer per depth.
Outline + Drillings + Merge : Activate the separation of the outer contour of parts from their holes, as well as the merging of depths for each cavity.
Paths : Enable the use of edges, which are not associated with a face contained in the part, to export them as a path. Learn mode.
Sheet color : Customize the line and fill (SVG only) colors of exported sheet.
Parts colors : Customize the line and fill (SVG only) colors of exported parts.
Drillings colors : Customize the line and fill (SVG only) colors of exported part's drillings.
Paths colors : Customize the line color of exported paths.
Identifications colors : Customize the text color of part identification.
Leftovers colors : Customize the line and fill (SVG only) colors of leftovers.
Cuts colors : Customize the line color of cuts.
