LWPOLYLINE versus POLYLINE

[JohnHutch]

My understanding of the LWPOLYLINE is that it is a 2D polyline. Even though your code does export the Z (30) value in the dxf, in the R14 specification the Z value is ignored. I want to export the 3D points of my polyline and should use the POLYLINE.

Can you provide a POLYLINE export option or provide me a way to add a POLYLINE to the export??

Dear Mr. John Hutch,

Currently we work on a new product <b>Direct DXF Export</b>. It will support export of 3D points. Beta version is available on: http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/CADtoDXF.zip (the package contains libraries for Delphi 5, 6 and 7).

Current product <b>DXFExportVCL</b>: available on http://www.cadsofttools.com/download/dxfexportvcl.zip will be developed only as a Windows Metafile export to DXF file format.

Sergy,

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately I cannot really look at the product as there is no help file and the library is closed. Can you provide some more information. How long until this new product is released?
