conversion: from mi to pdf/dwg

[biz]

Hi.
is it possible to easily convert (in one shot) a large amount of .mi files in .pdf/.dwg?

 

[cacciatorino]

to make in dwg puoi use the eneguibile:

c:\program files\ptc\creo elements\direct modeling 20.0\dxfdwg\dxfdwg.exe, for pdf non saprei.

Grazie!

and to repeatedly execute this command massively, even in subfolders, use the command "for %%a in (*.mi) do ..." directly from prompt.

Good morning polymar, I was looking for this command but I can't make it work, could you make a more detailed example? Thank you.

CONVERTIRE DA *.mi a *.DWG

Stamattina dovevo convertire un centinaio di file *.mi in *.dwg. Dopo lunghe prove e peregrinazioni e autocommiserazioni sul fatto che mi tocca usare un cad che rende difficili anche le cose piu' semplici (con solid edge sarebbe stata una cosa di cinque minuti), e dopo aver spulciato messaggi...

here to make it work in a folder. I can't tell you.

Thanks a hunter, that's what I needed.

only thing to pay attention to is that in terms of the me10 scale and autocad reason differently, so if a .mi file in scale 1:2 is simply opened and saved in dwg format when you go to take the measures (at least with the autodesk viewer) the quota is halved

 

[and]

with the me10 converter to export to .dwg do a file with within the path and file name to translate, and use the me10 converter with option 8!

thanks for the suggestion and.

Hi.
attached a zip to expand in c:\, are a set of .bat files for fast file translations. just copy the files to be converted to the "to_translate" folder and use the desired .bat. there is a limitation to the use of dxfdwg.exe, .mi source files cannot be in compressed format. for conversions in pdf you have to act from within annotation programming of the lisp, I have of different types but are programmed to work with our company customization of carts, directors, etc. would not work in other environments.
to make the translator work you must copy your dxfdwg.exe file and dxfdwg.con (configuration conversion parameters) to c:\transductions. are not contained in the .zip because of excessive size the first and the second is better than adopted the one already in use in your system. Good job.

hi kaji, that you know, there is a solution to this? why we use the dxf for laser processing and it happens to receive the "scale" pieces if the supplier does not verify the data.
I used other software and there export was always in relation 1:1
Thank you.

Usually when the template 1:1 is required I create a new sheet in scale 1:1 and I make the development view there, then I carry the dxf (annotation word, I don't know if on me10 you can do the same thing).

Yes, the reference is on annotation, which I use too.
I'm upset because some componnets come out of the a0 format if I hold them in scale 1:1, so either I can't make a decent design, or genero export of "scale" files.@cacciatorino Thanks for the answer.

But you're not gonna give him the paper, make a sheet without frame.

the things I write are to hear why for practically all my working life I always had and only to do with modeling so I have no experiences with other software.
But it seems to me that all the autodesk programs account for "the same way" so native dxfs from them are obviously in a correct scale, for solidworks there should be a flag that when exposing to dxf and/or dwg makes you choose whether to convert or not the scale.
in modeling and me10 that are actually software a little 'abandoned' since 2007 i.e. since they were purchased from the ptc, there is nothing like default, but you can get the same result with some macros.
where I work now as external should be a macro that actually does the following:
- inside the design finds the view called "development" or in its absence "anterior" and eliminates the other
- scale 1:1 scale view erases all odds, writings and development lines
- export the dxf by saving it with the design code name.

Unfortunately this macro run it from the server therefore, unlike other lisp, I have no direct access, but around there should be macros doing similar operations.

said this I believe that it should always be care of the designer to take a look at the design before exporting it at least the first time, also because I think in me10 you can import all the drawings as single parts in the same work window and then from the list of codes check the scale.
