Summary

  • Imports *.dwg, *.dxf CAD files.

How to Run

[Base Mode] / [User Section Mode] / [Point Library Mode] / [Curve Library Mode] / [Assembly Unit Mode]

  • File Menu > Import > DWG/DXF

Explanation

Imports DWG/DXF Files

Imports *.dwg, *.dxf CAD files.

  • [Search]
    Select the *.dwg, *.dxf file to import. Once selected, the Phase below will be displayed.

  • [DWG/DXF File]
    Name of the CAD file to be imported is displayed.

    • Length Unit : Unit used in the CAD file to be imported is displayed.

  • [Scale Factor]
    Apply a Scale to the Unit of the CAD file to be imported so that it is imported appropriately.

 Detailed Explanation (Scale Factor)

  • If the unit system of the CAD file and the CIM are identical, the Scale Factor is set to a default value of 1.

  • If the unit system of the CAD file and the CIM are different, the default Scale Factor is set so that the actual size of the CAD file is not compromised.

    • Example
      - If the CAD file has Unit=mm and Value=1000, and CIM has Unit=m, the default Scale Factor is set to 0.001.
      - Hence, a straight line of 1000mm is imported as a straight line of 1m.

  • If the CAD file has Unit=None, the unit is different for each mode.

    • User Section Mode, Rebar Draw Mode, Stiffener Mode
      - The unit in the CAD file is considered as mm.

    • Other 3D Modes
      - The unit in the CAD file is considered as m.

  • [Select Layer]
    The layer of the CAD file to be imported is displayed. Only the selected layer is imported.

  • [Define Location]
    Specifies the plane of the workspace on which to place the CAD file.

    • Geographic Coordinate

      • The Geographic Coordinates are always set to Disable when coordinates of the CIM are not entered.

      • ON : Imports the DWG file according to the global coordinate system.

      • OFF : Imports the DWG file without considering the global coordinate system.

    • DWG/DXF Origin as Box Center

      • ON : Box Center that surrounds the CAD file is set as the origin of the CAD during import.

      • OFF : The origin of the CAD is set as the origin during import.

    • Define Plane : Sets the origin and the plane where DWG will be imported.

Reference - Define Plane

  • [Option]

    • Import Point Body : Imports a point object.

    • Import Wire Body : Imports a line object.

      • Original Color : Imports the specified colors of the line object as it is.
        - OFF : All line objects are imported as black.
        - ON : All line objects are imported as CAD colors. However, white lines are imported as black lines.

    • Import Sheet Body : : Imports a sheet object.

    • Import Solid Body : Imports a solid object.
