      The DXF SheetMetal export configuration does not work correctly

      Issue

      when exporting a SheetMetal part to DXF using powerJobs Processor the resulting DXF file is incorrect

      Cause

      The SheetMetal.ini file that is delivered with powerJobs Processor contains 3 legacy layers that are not supported anymore:

      • BendLayer
      • ToolCenterLayer
      • FeatureProfilesLayer

      Those layers were replaced by

      • BendUpLayer
      • ToolCenterUpLayer
      • FeatureProfilesUpLayer

      Solution

      To export correct sheetMetal DXF files the unsupported layers need to be removed:

      1. Open the file "C:\ProgramData\coolOrange\powerJobs\Modules\Export\DXF_SheetMetal.ini" with a text editor
      2. Delete the following lines in the INI file:
        • BendLayer=IV_BEND
        • ToolCenterLayer=IV_TOOL_CENTER
        • FeatureProfilesLayer=IV_FEATURE_PROFILES
      3. Save the file

      Now you can correctly configure the layers in your DXF configuration file.
