-DROP_GLOBAL_SHIFT not working?

Post by Haax »

Hello
If i run the line below in a cmd window, I get a .ply in the same coordinates as the original .dxf. Should'nt the exported .ply be in low/moved coordinates then?
If I remove the -DROP_GLOBAL_SHIFT flag I get the exact same result, does not seem like the -DROP_GLOBAL_SHIFT flag do anything at all.

-M_EXPORT_FMT PLY -PLY_EXPORT_FMT BINARY_LE -O -GLOBAL_SHIFT -442000 -6199000 0 myfile.dxf -DROP_GLOBAL_SHIFT -NO_TIMESTAMP -SAVE_MESHES

Regards

No, it was not what I thought... It works on my side.

Can you maybe share the DXF file with me? (cloudcompare [at] danielgm.net)

Ok the culprit was the DXF loader (which was wrongly locking the vertices) and another internal test that was too restrictive when handling locked vertices...

I'll try to update the online version soon. I'll keep you updated.

Thank's Daniel

Worked as expected.

One strange thing though, i could not just use the dxf-name any longer. Had to put the whole path in.

Yes, I think that there has been a change in the default path (it was necessary for the Mac version I believe).
