7.3 Exporting to DXF-AAMA and DXF-ASTM standard formats
Defined by a committee made up of various market editors, DXF-AAMA is the most commonly used standard format for sharing among different CAD programs. Modaris’ DXF-AAMA export has been completely rewritten to bring it in line with the standard defined by the committee
responsible for its standardization.
To improve the quality of the information provided, the DXF-ASTM export has also been fully reviewed and now provides increased interoperability with the other Fashion CAD programs on the market.
To help the Modaris user to better understand the entities supported and sent using this format, a comprehensive information report on this export is now available. It groups together the list of non-shared entities (because they do not conform to the standard) as well as the details of each: name, size and piece affected, and location.
Thus, the recipient of the Modaris file exported in DXF-AAMA and/or DXF-ASTM format will be able to access complete information about the pattern and reconstruct the missing information.
7.4 Exporting in bulk
To make it easier to work with their partners, pattern designers often provide Modaris files in various formats: native Lectra format, DXF-AAMA, DXF-ASTM, etc. To save time, the model validation function now lets you choose and export the same Modaris file in all desired formats in a single step.
