Output
Section titled “Output”| Pipeline | Writes |
|---|---|
| Sketch, Text Sketch, Cross Section, Project Silhouette | DXF in millimeters, R2000 by default (arcs, circles, ellipses, polylines with bulges, splines). R12 for old importers: no splines or lightweight polylines, so curves are flattened |
| Extrude, Extruded Text, Mesh to Solid, Split to Bodies | STEP (AP214) solids: one per body, faces shared at edges, colors from fill layers or the mesh |
| Previews | SVG or PNG pictures of the result |
Sections are on layers named after the cut (Z_5); silhouettes on
OUTLINE_Z (or _X, _Y); art split by color on FILL_RRGGBB layers.
