Adding 2D parts

How to upload 2D parts (DXF or DWG) to a quote

ToolBox enables a simple drag and drop method or click and browse to upload your 2D parts to an existing quote or a brand new one.

Drag and Drop

1. Create a new quote or open an existing one.

2. Click the button on the top right-hand side of the quoting window.

Select 'Add 2D Parts from the 'ADD PARTS' dropdown.

3. Select the 2D file(s) and simply drag them onto the ToolBox quote window.

The file upload pop-up

Drag the files into the drop zone or click the 'BROWSE FILE' button to select them from an email, folder or network location.

4. Once the files have been added, click the 'UPLOAD FILES' button to add the files to the quote.

If you see the warning "Three dimensional entities found," it means the part has a z-axis value. ToolBox can flatten z-axis values that are very small (0.1mm or less), but it won't flatten larger values because it could change the original drawing in unintended ways.

1. Create a new quote or open an existing one. 2. Click the button on the top right-hand side of the quoting window. 3. Browse or drag from the location of your file(s). 4. Click the button to add the files to the quote. ToolBox will process the upload. Once the upload process is complete, the main quote page will display your files.

File size limit

The maximum file size for a 2D part is 4MB.

If a part is uploaded and exceeds a file size of 4 megabytes, you will see the following warning:

Error message when loading a 2D file that is too large.

Tip: Resave a .DXF as a .DWG to reduce the file size by up to 60%.
