EXPORTSVG command

Generates SVG files for each step of the selected exploded view.

BricsCAD Mechanical

Method

Select an exploded view and press Enter key to open the Select folder to save svg files dialog box. Select a folder and all the steps of your exploded view are saved there in SVG format.

To select an exploded view, you can type either its name or its index in the Command line.

Note: Use the BMEXPLODE command to create exploded views.
Note: The files are generated according to the options available via SVGOPTIONS command.

If the Default camera property of an exploded view is enabled, and the Camera property of its initial step is Default, the original camera of the model will be used for the initial step (that is, the camera of the model space before generation started), and it will be used until the first step with the property Camera = Custom.

To fix this:

  • Open the exploded view for editing with the BEDIT command.
  • In the Mechanical Browser right-click the initial step and choose Apply.
  • Choose the proper camera for the initial step.

    To do this you can rotate the view using RTROT command.

  • Right-click the initial step and choose Update view from current.

    Its Camera will become Custom.

  • Save the block.
Note: This is not a bug, it is the expected behavior.
