Customizing additional parameters

Procedure dialog box. Parameters tab

Converter can executes following types of data loading:

- loading with saving of a graphic objects image;

- loading by classifier of map objects.

Loading with saving of graphic objects image is performed if the Pouring or Circuit option is enabled in the Layers appearance list. Map objects have a zero classification code and the graphic description by ACAD primitives: color and, if possible, type of a line. Following restrictions of  lines types are accepted:

-  continuous lines, simple dashed lines and simple dotted lines preserve their appearance;

- dash-dotted, complex dashed, complex dotted lines are replaced by dotted lines along the line;

- complex lines containing symbols, signs, and so on in the description are replaced with offset dotted lines along the line.

Hatching is performed: a 90 degree grid, vertical lines and horizontal lines. Hatching of other types is not performed.

When loading contours, there is no pouring or hatching on the map.

If this loading is performed with the addition of semantics, all map objects contain the characteristic Name (text of the title). Its value is set to the name of the ACAD layer or the corresponding name of the map layer, which is determined by the state (on/off) of the Classifier Layers Names switch. For correlation of ACAD layers and a map it is preliminary necessary to edit the map classifier, using names of ACAD layers as identifiers of map layers.

Map objects created from descriptions of blocks contain semantics Name (text of the title). Name of ACAD block is used as its value. If the Name semantics is repeatable (the Allowed to be repeted attribute is set in the classifier), not only the block name, but also the layer name, line type, and other parameters from the dxf file are saved into the object semantics.

For recoding the received map objects according to unified system of objects classification, it is necessary to edit objects, using the established values of semantics.

Loading by map classifier with object recoding. This mode of loading is carried out, if Object name or Object key button is switched on. Thus the input DXF file is formed so that names of DXF layers are accordingly names or keys of map objects (or the map classifier is edited so that names of map objects correspond to names of ACAD layers). At loading into a map the classification codes from the map classifier on DXF layer name are given to objects. The kind (image) of objects depends on the established object code, the graphic kind of ACAD objects is not saved.

Customizing of conformity of objects keys and ACAD layers can be done directly in the dialog window, for which you need to activate the Settings table option in the Layers appearance list. The result of customizing is saved in the table <classifier name> .cus, and data of the table are used for recoding of objects.

Units field displays the type of coordinate units (from a dxf file or meters). If you want to ignore the unit of measurement specified in the source file, you must select the Meters option in the Units list.
