I am trying to lay out parts for materials management. When I try to insert blocks to view potential layout arrangements, some of the blocks cannot be inserted because they are "self referencing" is there an easy way around this? thanks, Nick
scrap that, I just read the other post about opening iges files in acad, oh well, I guess I could live with a solid model, but I really wanted to make a mesh. Theres got to be a way. Whats wrong with linking the sections manually, or does that just make something that appears to be a mesh, but...
The completed model is all compound curves. Each section is composed of a 15 point spline. Perhaps the easiest thing to do is to export the .dwgs to solidworks and loft the sketches, make a solid model, save it as an iges file then open it up in acad.
Hello I'm new to the group, but have already learned much, thanks. My question is, what is the best way to create a 3d mesh out of a series of sectional views? Should I import the existing drawings as blocks at the proper intervals (columns) and manually connect them with splines (rows)...
