Exporting .dxf files for stations

[George Bailey]

I am new to hull modeling and to DELFTship.

I have developed a hull shape for which I need to create molds. I am not familiar with the process and the other forum threads have not helped me.

When I try to export a 2D .dxf file I get this message:

Cannot create file “C:Program FilesDelftshipStations.dxf”. Access is denied.

My export units are in feet. What max length of line segments should I use? What am I doing wrong?

You’re doing nothing wrong, except for the fact that you are trying to save your files in a subfolder of c:program files which is a protected folder.
In Vista and later you don’t have permission to save your files there.
Try saving to a different folder.

Thanks Marven.

I’m a Mac user with a partition for Windows, an environment that is alien to me. I use Windows only for DELFTship and Explorer on this site.
