Sodick’s IQ software and DXF imports with layers

[Luke.kerbey]

Hi folks,

Hopefully this’ll be an easy, “yes it can be done like this”, “or no it’ll never happen”.

So I’m trying to import DXFs from solid works where I’m drawing on a separate layer that has all the relevant elements I need. And I can’t get IQ to recognise them.

I’ve created DXFs with multiple layers, saved them and opened them up in a separate drawings viewer and have proved that all my layers are showing separately. But in IQ it’s only one layer, although my layers come in white lines and views made from model parts are black lines.

Is there an export setting I’m missing, or is IQ incapable of multilayer DXFs?


I’m sure someone else has tried this. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks Luke.
