Hi Martin,

Is there a way to only include the gauge face of the rails in a DXF? I know the generator lets you suppress the outer edges but I don't know how to do that in a DXF. I thought I had found a way to do it in the past but I'm probably imagining it  :)

The reason I would like to be able to do this is to make it a bit simpler to snap my chair models to the intersection of the rail gauge face and the timber center-line. Of course I can always delete the rail outer edge in CAD.

Cheers!
Andy

Hi Andy,

Anything not generated won't be in the DXF. :)

I think the bit you are missing is to rebuild the required templates after changing the generator settings:

That's the second time this has been asked recently -- I'm sure it is all in the notes somewhere but I need to go and make sure. :?

cheers,

Martin.
