Exporting 2D Model Files

Maxwell exports 2D models in AutoCAD *.dxf format. In this format, the geometry located within the XY plane is exported.

Note:

If you want to export a plane that does not coincide with the global xy plane, you must create a relative coordinate system to redefine the location of the origin.

To export a file to *.dxf format:

  1. Click Modeler > Export.

    2. The Export File window appears.

  2. Browse to and select a location to save your file.
  3. In the File Name field, name the file.
  4. From the Save as Type drop-down menu, select AutoCAD DXF Files (*.dxf).
  5. Click Save.

    6. The file is exported to the specified location with the appropriate file format.
