We closed this forum 18 June 2010. It has served us well since 2005 as the ALPHA forum did before it from 2002 to 2005. New discussions are ongoing at the new URL http://forum.processing.org. You'll need to sign up and get a new user account. We're sorry about that inconvenience, but we think it's better in the long run. The content on this forum will remain online.

dxf lib modification
Jul 16th, 2007, 10:17pm  
I've posted a minor hack to the default RawDXF export library that transforms the axes in a manner that seems to work better with some engineering-type software (AutoCAD, 3dsMax, SketchUp, for example) so that the "x/-z plane" of Processing's screen better corresponds to the "x/y plane" of such software, and also corrects normals to face "outward": http://www.davebollinger.com/works/p5/rawdxf_rhzu/

(usefulness depends on the software you're using to import:  if your dxf's look rotated and mirrored and inside-out on import then this may work better for you, if they're already ok then disregard)
