Xara 3d Maker; Blender or Sketchup?

Actually, I know that Xara can export a 2D shape as a DXF file..

I am pretty sure that you cannot

it is not on the xdpx export list

you could run a vector export file [svg? pdf?] through third party software to convert

No, Xara can't export DXF ... However, if you save it as a PDF and import it into INKSCAPE, Inkscape CAN export as DXF

thanks Keith - would that be any better than just exporting svg I wonder for 3D modelling in wings or blender even - I've always thought of DXF as being more of a CAD/CAM or Plotter/Cutter format ...

Oh, sorry, you're right. Not DXF, I was exporting to AI format, which I can import into Wings 3D, which is how I did that logo. Got confused with another program doing the same kind of thing (not recently though, so how that got flopped in my head, I don't know).

Thanks Gamerprinter. I thought you had made a discovery.

thanks for the clarification

Agree. @Steve & @Keith
I just wanted to see how this proclaimed 3D poster would respond.

Regards to both of you..
