Use ghostscript/pstoedit/gsview to convert the EPS file to AI.Įdit 5: Changed the method because of quality issues with Autocad BMP files.ġ. If you prefer a GUI, Potrace is included with Inkscape but I have not tested using it in Inkscape.ĥ. Simply open a Dos Window > go to the folder where you installed Potrace > Type "potrace filename.bmp" and a clean EPS file will be generated. Use "Potrace" (MS-Dos program) (Free of course) to convert from BMP to a clean EPS. Use Microsoft Paint to fill the profile if your version of Autocad does not support Solid Hatch.Ĥ. Plot to a BMP file or use Export to BMP if you want to try that.ģb. (If your version of Autocad does not support Solid Hatch then you will have to use Microsoft Paint or other painting program to fill the exported BMP profile).ģa. Use a Solid Hatch (Color White or Black Depending on your background color) to fill the profile. Make sure your profile is closed with no gaps. (If your version supports an Export to BMP file option you could try that).Ģ. Configure a Raster File Printer for exporting BMP files. You will also need the program "Potrace" to convert from BMP to a clean EPS file. still testing.Įdit4: After further testing, I have found that the only 100% reliable way of getting a 2d profile from Autocad to Wings3d is by exporting to a BMP file. All I have to do now is to figure out why the profile I am trying to use is failing and hope that EPS Import is added so I can avoid the EPS to AI conversion step.Įdit3: It seems that as long as there are no arcs in the original Autocad Dwg and complicated profiles are all polylines I am able to get good AI files. I still need to find a method for Autocad.Įdit2: By configuring a Postscript level 1 printer and printing to an EPS file and then converting from EPS to AI with ghostscript/pstoedit/gsview, I can now import good test files from autocad into Wings3d. This is from someone with no programming knowledge so I am probably wrong.Įdit: Creating a profile in Inkscape and exporting as EPS and then converting from EPS to AI with ghostscript/pstoedit/gsview produces a good file.
WINGS 3D IMPORT ILLUSTRATOR CODE
I was hoping that the code from the AI Import command could be easily modifed into an EPS Import command. These files are identical to their corresponding Illustrator EPS counterparts, but with the EPS procsets (procedure sets) omitted from the file and instead externally referenced using %%Include directives.". "Early versions of the AI file format are true EPS files with a restricted, compact syntax, with additional semantics represented by Illustrator-specific DSC comments that conform to DSC's Open Structuring Conventions. I have read on the web that AI is somehow based in EPS. This method is only partly successful since Autocad is exporting a rectangle with the profile as a hole.
With AI being the only method for bringing in 2d shapes I have had to export via the psout command and then use ghostscript/pstoedit/gsview to convert to AI. I have recently been trying to get a 2d profile from Autocad LT into Wings3d.
