hi there

using maya 2012 i want to export scene in dxf file format

maya 2012 doesnt export dxf file format

any possible solution ? :?:

should just be a plugin that might not be turned on by default. or you can use the FBX converter, it is standalone and converts between formats.

thanks for reply brad

i downloaded fbx plugin and sdk for maya, still it’s unable to upload dxf.

it shows file translators: FBX export, and DAE_FBX export

thanks and regards

I have never seen a DXF plug-in for Maya. I often use a program called Ultimate Unwrap 3D to convert files to the less common formats (it supports dozens), and I checked and the program does support dxf, and I was able to export and import DXF with it. It is not free, but I think they have a trial version.

:slight_smile: notice I said “converter” it is a standalone tool, not the fbx plugin.

try again with the converter, it does dxf

thanks brad and Wesley for you reply

@brad, sorry i thought downloading fbx plugin would help.
later i downloaded fbx converter and it’s working fine.

i was wondering why dxf is not inside maya so that you can directly export
it from maya without any converter.

i’ve downloaded python binding for fbx sdk 2012.1 and i m trying to write
dxf exporter.

thanks and regards
