In fact there is a lack of compatibility
among SAP (I use VER 11) and AUTOCAD ( I use ver 2008) in what matters to 3d solid.
The entity the SAP creates when exporting a solid element i in dxf format in Autocad is recognized as a "polygon mesh".
This is a entity impossible (tought) to create in autocad....so....
Here is the problem:
I need model complex (not too much) solids beyond the offered in the sap templates. For instances a half depth cylindrical hole in a cube .....
Thanks for any help...



better be approximately wrong than exactly right
