It was tedious work. The .rld file had stored objects as proprietary "SmartBlocks," but the printout just saw lines. He was losing the metadata—the intelligence of the drawing—but he was saving the geometry. He wrote a loop to strip the coordinate data from the PostScript file and wrap it in the standard DXF header/terminator syntax that AutoCAD required. | Challenge | How the Converter Works Around
Converting files (native to RDWorks laser software) directly to .dxf (AutoCAD Drawing Exchange Format) is not supported by standard "one-click" online converters because .rld is a proprietary, machine-specific format. | | Corrupted RLD files | Uses error-resilient
