Granted they took a while to update their website, and they only posted the 2D version that doesn't use the CADImport... I am happy to show you the product I was working on. Finally! http://www.matrixsys.com/products/Frontier_SCREEN1lg.jpg http://www.matrixsys.com/product_frontier.htm They are a gre...

Sergey, Here is an update now that the product has been released. This is an example of the first floor of a real world building, integrated with access control security devices. It allows security personnel to navigate facilities and evaluate status with real time 3D information. Importing CAD file...

Sergey, In the following code, I am applying a Y axis conversion when sender.Extrusion.Z < 0, and applying a X axis conversion when cadParams.xscale < 0. This is getting me for what I can tell, a 100% conversion of all CADArc where cadParams.xScale = 1 or -1. when xScale and yScale are other values,...

I assumed that RadPt was already accounted for in the CADParams Angle, or some other angle such as start and end. I can make a quick sin evaluation of the RadPt angle to determine if it should be an X or Y major axis and abstract the correct 3D math values from there for conversion. For reference, a...

Sergey, private void ImportEllipse(CADEllipse sender) { DPoint p; if (sender.Extrusion.X != 0 || sender.Extrusion.Y != 0 || sender.Extrusion.Z != 1 || cadParams.xScale != 1 || cadParams.yScale != 1) { #region CatchAll for (int i = 0; i < sender.DottedSingPts.Count - 1; i += 8) { FVV.FVV_Line TempLin...

EDIT: cadParams.xScale and cadParams.yScale ... are these already accounted for in the position data? the radius data? is it just parenthetical information or do I need to apply this in some fashion? xScale - Represents a text width scaling yScale - Represents a text height scaling Sergey. I have a...

Sergey, Arc, Circle, Ellipse, and Polygons can all be solved when the following variables are set. CenterPoint (x,y,z) Radius == XAxisLength (all arc are generated on this axis, and then rotated afterwards) Ratio == YAxisLength/XAxisLength StartAngle(radians) == must be < StopAngle StopAngle(radians...

Sergey, If there is a way to isolate which Arc, Circles, and Ellipse can be translated properly from those that can not, then I could at least get a conversion on those cases. Is it safe to say that if the extrusions are not 1.0, then use the point list fallback method? That way I still have a 100% ...

Thank you Sergey,

This method works fine for getting past our immediate deadline needs. I would like to continue working on a method of having these entity types converted into proper FVV_Arc format as soon as possible.

Again, Thank you Sergey,

One note on the Arc class I think I forgot to mention.

Only specify a number of sides for Polygons. For the Arc, Circle, and Ellipse, the sides can be set to 0(zero) and the engine will optimize the correct number of sides to use.

Sergey, Our CAD officer is stripping that particular file of customer specific information so that it can be viewed by your team. I will be emailing it to you shortly. The file I am sending you represents a major portion of what we will be importing. I am also sending you an abstract of the source c...

Sergey, Thanks, that clears up the confusion with why ellipse behave the way they do. A few more questions in that regard. Does the Z extrusion also act as an order of magnitude? I have seen values such as 1, -1, -34; I would assume the -34 would mean something different from -1? The DXF reference s...

I am focusing on Arc right now, and trying to get a 100% conversion. Perhaps I am missing a step that provides the actual start/stop values. http://www.ausukusa.com/workstuff/Chairs.jpg private void ImportArc(CADArc sender) { FVV.FVV_Arc TempArc = new FVV.FVV_Arc(); DPoint p = cadParams.matrix.PtXMa...

Thank you Sergey,

I will keep working on this. I would have never assumed a file called "TXTImport.cs" would actually contain code for exporting. I never even looked in it.
It will make my bosses happy to know that you have the tool we need.

Chris.
