User-defined export templates and DXF format
Exporting the results to the Drawing Interchange Format (DXF) to enable further processing in computer-aided design (CAD) software is a recurring request. As DXF is a pure ASCII file format defined by AutoDesk, such an export can be realized with the FreeMarker template engine included in JAG3D. Individual templates can be easily created, such as a flat text file or a DXF file. Some samples for JAG3D can be found here. To use individual templates, just copy the template files (and folders) to the application subfolder /resources/ftl/jag3d/
. The motto is: use your own templates to be flexible.
JAG3D, JUniForm & CoordTrans
To prevent the report from being opened in the standard application, a dot can be added to the template name, e.g. template.txt.ftlh
opens a text editor, but template..txt.ftlh
does not open the editor.
JUniForm
Condition added to check whether the user has defined a fixed parameter to avoid unexpected overwriting as suggested by Thore
