Boundaries (e.g. loads, excavations) can be exported from Settle3D to a DXF file (AutoCAD Drawing Exchange File), using the Export DXF option. This allows you to view a Settle3D model in AutoCAD or other CAD program.
To export boundaries to a DXF file:
Select Export DXF from the Export sub-menu of the File menu.
In the DXF Options dialog, select the entities you would like to export, using the checkboxes provided.
Select the Export button, and you will see a Save As dialog. Type in a filename, or select an existing filename. Select OK and all entities you selected in the DXF Options dialog will be saved to a DXF file with the name you entered.
When you export boundaries to a dxf file, only the geometry is exported (i.e. x,y coordinates). All other information (e.g. load magnitude, staging information) is NOT exported.
