SHAPE TO DXF
What is the best way to bring a 3DS shape (SHP) into AutoCAD. In
Rel1 you could save the shaper to a DXF. Too bad it's not there
anymore. I have text (using a FCG Franklin Gothic PS font) I want to
extrude with a rounded front edge. So I tried to scale it in the
lofter but it seems that each letter should be done separately
otherwise everything converge to the center of the text. It tried
outlining it one letter at the time (You cannot outline selected) and
create several shapes that way, but outline splits the distance
between the original and the new polygon and that can create
problems.
I was thinking to export it to AutoCAD and use the OFFSET command,
but how ? I tried saving to an AI file and converting in Corel to
DXF but it looks terrible in Corel (very boxy). Maybe also there is
a better way altogether.
