Hi,

I have now DraftSight, I opened successfully my splines but impossible to export a STL file, I don't understand.

DraftSight answers :


: _EXPORT
Specify entities» ALL
0 found
1 was not in drawing area.

Can please someone help me ?

Thanks, best regards,

amka

Unfortunately Draftsight is unusable on my system with the latest release (2015beta) due to mouse lag, so I can't help.
Perhaps someone else can chime in.

The STL format is valid only for export solids and not to export simple spline profiles

That was a bit of a wet blanket Jon64, thanks for letting us know.

Hi,

Thanks for the informations :-) I didn't know that STL is only for volume.

So I looked and found that DraftSight has an "Extrude" prompt command. IT seems that can do the job but careful with DraftSight, it need sometimes two times ENTER to understand...

I tried only with a circle to do a cylinder, all seems to be OK for the moment but I have to do more.

Best regards,

amka
