Remster 30 #1 December 10, 2007 Since dz.com is the holder of all information... Do any of you autocad geeks out there know if there are some utilities to combine multiple (say, 3) dxf files into 1? Can the files be concatenated or something?Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheCaptain 2 #9 December 11, 2007 I do not know about AutoCad but in Keycreator (Cadkey) you can import Dxf files into a new part file and can import as may dxf files as you want, the parts need to be made so the do not overlap each other .

Remster 30 #10 December 11, 2007 mmm.. Yeah, I know you can use AutoCAD (and I assume other drawing programs) to open a series of dxf's and then save the result. I'm hoping to find a utilityy that does it automatically. Say, a program call dxfcombiner, and you just need to run a script like dxfcombiner file1.dxf file2.dxf file3.dxf output.dxf Or, if there is anyway to simply combine the files with concatenation with a unix comand.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 35 #11 December 11, 2007 QuoteBunch of smartasses.... OK... Second round: anyway to use a utiliy to combine 2 dxf files? My AutoCAD guru friend says he knows of no program that combines DXFs, so you're shit out of luck. If he says there isn't one, there isn't one. You can open the DXF files up then cut and paste just like in Windows. Or take the three DXF files, open them then put them together and make one file.

Glitch 0 #12 December 11, 2007 Remi, I doubt you'll find what your looking for... the drawings are typically associated to / linked to the solid body within the file (as I'm sure your aware...). This being said, there's prolly a work-around that, while prolly a PIA, will get you where you need to be. A really good source of CAD info can be had at Eng-tips.com. Find the appropriate group and do some digging... I go here for UG stuff before I go to GTAC... PM me if you need anything else...Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born...
