... the intersections to rivet holes is over to you in your CAD cutting program. There is currently no function to do that in Templot, sorry. (There might be when I have the 3D-printing and chairing functions done. Don't hold your breath.) Here's how to export the DXF: 2_051100_440000000.png 1. set the generator settings options to rails> rail head centre-lines only. 2. then rebuild all background templates. 3. output> export a file... 2_051104_030000000.png On the DXF export dialog: 2_051104_570000000.png 4. set all the layer colours to none, except the rails and timber centre-lines. Set whatever colours you want for those. (Having different colours may help the CAD software to find the intersections? Or being on separate layers may be enough?) 5. you probably want the line styles for both set to solid. Here is the resulting DXF file imported into TurboCAD: 2_051111_310000000.png cheers, Martin. posted: 5 Apr 2020 17:18 from: Chris Noble Hi Martin Thanks for the quick response ...
