hi, i design all my stuff in OpenSCAD, and i now need to apply for patents. the patent drawings have stymied me somewhat: i'm loathe to have to learn yet another gui, like FreeCAD, and i thought, "hey, i've already got the design in OpenSCAD, why can't i just gen a DWF file?" but DWF files are not an export option on OpenSCAD. no worries, Marius, i'm *not* asking for yet another feature of OpenSCAD; i'm just trying to create drawings! so does anyone know a method / process / script that can create DWF files from OpenSCAD? if not, may i ask, what drawing / CAD programs do others use for patent drawings? (NB: i have absolutely NO artistic talent.) i appreciate all input, and thanks in advance! yvette -- View this message in context: http://forum.openscad.org/DWF-files-tp12852.html Sent from the OpenSCAD mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

I would also think that given a DXF file, you could generate DWF using some external tool. ..so if you could reduce the problem into exporting DXF, you should be home free. Perhaps playing around with projection() in OpenSCAD could create decent 2D objects which could be exported as DXF? -Marius
