Introduction

profiles ready to be exported

Export Profile

This Script exports 2D profiles in dxf or svg format. To get the

• Only selected objects are exported
• Exported objects will be flattened (their z coordinate will be zero)
• Exported objects must be convertible to sequence of lines. This means there cannot be intersections (vertices with more than 2 edges), otherwise the script will choose only one of the adjacent edges, and part of your geometry won't be exported. This means it is better to remove faces.
• Although this doesn't have influence on the result of the script, it is a good idea to "remove doubles" before exporting, so you get a cleaner dxf file.

Known issues

• the exported svg file doesn't have its "viewport" defined... So, opening it in an image viewer will not display it right. But the geometry is there...
