Re: Pro/Desktop Express 2001 - how to export a 2d file into something like Dolphin CAD/CAM

Eric:

It may be that you lose all the 3D information when you go to an "Engineering
Drawing". If this is true you'll get only a flat representation of the part.
Let us know if this is the case or not.

In your prior memo did you mean IGES instread of IDES? IGES is a common
format for 3D models. Do you have another CAD systems available? You could
consider importing from Pro/Desktop to CAD X using IGES or STEP (or anything)
and then exporting in DXF for Dolphin. May be worth a shop. :-)
