Truss Plates Help

Post by suity13 »

Hi guys I had these roof truss's drawn up and sent to me in DXF but when I load them into design edge only a long green line comes across the screen.
I've added three DXF files and a PDF to if that helps.
Could anyone please help Rachel

All I had to do was change the view, just switched to front view and everything showed up. :D :D :D

Hi everyone

Have any of you that have downloaded and opened this DXF checked the scale of the parts :shock:

Out of curiosity I downloaded the DXF and opened it in solid edge 2D,
In the drawing are a couple of dim's for example:
The top plate states a dimension of 550.62 high x 210 wide but if I try and put a dims on the same features I am getting 324.41 x 123.81 :?

Just asking as I only opened the file to see if I could ;)

would be great if someone else could check as well :roll: at least I would know if I need to look again at things this end :lol:
Best Regards to all
Exapprentice :D
