Title: Turbocad 12 DXF?
Post by: jdavis211 on August 08, 2007, 09:12:11 PM

I cant seem to get Turbo Cad 12 to export out a usable DXF for "Lazy"  there are 3 save level options, r14 2004 and 2006/2007.  None
of these worked.  The only way I was able to get any data into lazy was with plt output.  I know we are still in Beta and I might have to come up with some tricks to get a off brand of cad to work, but has anyone had any success with this?  I am using the "Laxycam" version that came packed with Mach 3 and purchased the pro upgrade. 

Upgrading to full blown Acad is out of my budget!

Thanks for any help.

Discovered my problem.  The latest rev did, and didnt work.  Posting this for others who may make the same stupid mistake I made.  In Turbo I got in the habit of using "Paper Space"  instead of model space.  When I redrew my shape in model space it all worked just fine. Thanks for the quick responce.
