\\ *SAP2000* models may be *exported to DXF* (* {new-tab-link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocad}AutoCAD{new-tab-link} 2012 as {new-tab-link:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dxf}Drawing Exchange Format{new-tab-link} (*DXF*) files using the procedure which follows: \\ # Save the [SAP2000|sap2000:home] SDB file within the C:\Program Files\Computers and Structures\SAP2000 folder. This is where models must be saved to perform SAP2000 operations. \\ \\ The example model we will use for demonstration contains at least one [joint|kb:Joint], nonlinear [link|kb:Link], [frame|kb:Frame], [shell|kb:Shell], and [solid|kb:Solid] object, as shown in Figure 1: \\ !Figure 1.png|align=center,border=1,width=600px! {center-text}Figure 1 - SAP2000 model for export{center-text} \\ A few notes which concern this process are as follows: * AutoCAD does not need to be installed on the desktop to [import|kb:Import] or [export|kb:Export] between SAP2000 and DXF. * The only difference between [export|kb:Export] to DXF and DWG, aside from file format, is the mapping between [SAP2000|sap2000:home] objects and DXF entities, which is described in the following table: \\ || || MAPPING content || || || || SAP2000 object || DXF entity || | 1 | [Joint|kb:Joint] | POINT | | 2 | [Frame|kb:Frame] | LINE | | 3 | [NLink|kb:Link] (2 or 3 points) | LINE | | 4 | NLink (1 point) | POINT | | 5 | [Shell|kb:Shell] | 3DFACE | | 6 | [Solid|kb:Solid] | 3DPOLYLINE | {hidden-content} {verify} {hidden-content} h2.
