Provides commands to export in various file types.
IFC Export - Saves the CADWorx 3D model as a platform-neutral, open-file format .ifc file. |
|
IFC Combine - Combine two IFC files into a single IFC file containing the data from both. |
|
VUE Export - Saves the CADWorx 3D model as a .vue file. An MDB2 file is also created with the VUE file intelligence and component data. |
|
3D PDF - Saves the CADWorx 3D model as an Adobe 3D PDF .pdf file. |
|
Annotations Export - Export a tabular data file containing only the model annotations, in a comma-separated value format (*.CSV, *.xlsx). |
Publish a drawing to one of the following file options:
-
Industry Foundation Classes (*.ifc)
-
VUE file (*.vue)
-
Annotations (*.CSV, *.xlsx)
-
Adobe 3D PDF (*.pdf)
Publishing in some languages requires the Windows Region option Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support to be enabled.
Industry Foundation Classes (.ifc)
Saves the CADWorx 3D model .dwg file as a platform-neutral, open-file format .ifc file, which you can import and view in NavisWorks, and BIM software such as Revit, and ArchiCAD among many others. CADWorx exports the piping, equipment, and structure component data shown in the table below to the .ifc file. IFC exports equipment as a single component instead of a group of individual components. IFC export does not include CADWorx bolts. All other components display as proxy entities. To map IFC configurations, click IFC Configurations.

If your drawing contains a CAD solid object, the software displays this object after IFC export.
-
A log file containing a summary of the export is generated.
-
You can only export .dwg files as an .ifc file.
VUE file (*.vue)
Refer to the respective user documentation for input file types supported by SPIOP, SPR, and S3D.
An MDB2 file is also created with the VUE file intelligence and component data.
Annotations (*.CSV, *.xlsx)
Export a tabular data file containing only the model annotations, in a comma-separated value format.
Adobe 3D PDF (*.pdf)
Export the drawing as a .pdf file.
3D PDF files require AdobeĀ® ReaderĀ® 9 or later software.
