You can change the visibility of the layers in the Layers flyout Otherwise they are imported but not displayed. If this option is selected, the hidden layers in the DXF file are not imported. Otherwise are imported but not displayed. If this option is not active, only the model data will be used. The automatic material assignment is explained in tutorial 3.ĭetermines whether layout data information should be included in the conversion. You can also change the kind of material assignment by clicking on the ' Options ' button in the message line after importing the DXF file.

Selected material: The selected material from the Material list is assigned to all objects. Layer - only closed objects: The material which is defined in the layer material mapping table is assigned automatically to all closed objects (e.g. Level: The material which is defined in the layer material mapping table is assigned automatically to all objects lying on the DXF-layer. In this list you can define the standard characteristics when converting imported DXF data. If this is the case, this parameter is used instead. This setting determines the minimum number of edges for arc approximation.ĭetermines an internal calculation for the number of edges of a specific arc (taking into account the 'Reference circle radius'), which according to the polygon circular approximation, would have fewer edges than this parameter value. All circles with radii bigger than the reference circle's radius will be subdivided, proportionally to radius, more than the reference circle All circles with radii smaller than the reference circle's radius will be subdivided, proportionally to radius, less than the reference circle. You can determine the accuracy of the approximation by adjusting the radius and the number of points for the polygon approximation of a circle:

Upon importing a DXF file, arcs and circles are divided into individual segments. of points for the polygon approximation of ref. Sets the distance of the squares within the grid, on which all end and midpoints of the DXF object should be mapped. in the scale 1:1000 1 unit represents 1 meter).ĭetermines whether all DXF object points (end and midpoints) should automatically be mapped on a grid. In scaled drawings, the units can be adjusted respectively (i.e. For drawings, which are not scaled, 1 unit represents 1 millimeter in Europe. In DXF files geometric information is saved without units.
