Save Drawing as Autocad Only Objects

General

Defines the common settings

• Import Views: Defines which layouts to import

  • All: Imports all views, (both Model-Space and Paper-Space), and makes the last used view active

  • Model Only: Imports only the Model-Space views from the selected file

  • Layouts Only: Imports only the Paper-Space (Layout) views from the selected file

• Import Layers: Defines import options for layers

  • All: Imports all layers

  • Ignore Hidden: Imports only the visible layers in each view

     Note

    Entities on invisible layers are not available using this option

    End of the note.

• Import Metadata: Indicates whether any block attribute is imported

• Import Only Attributes with Name: If a value is specified, works as a white list filter. Note that the system converts only blocks with specific attribute name. You can enter several names, separated with space.

• Import Text As: Determines the way in which text is imported

  • Automatic: Conversion provides best quality depending on type of font. For more information, see Font Conversion Rules.

  • Geometry: Imports text either as polyline or polygon mesh, depending on the type of the font. This option increases import time and memory usage.

     Note

    This option does not allow editing of imported text.

    End of the note.

  • Character Primitives: Imports text as native text primitives

• Import Line Patterns As: Determines the way in which noncontinuous lines are imported

  • Prefer Line Material: Attempts to load lines with simple styles; for example, dashed, as polylines with the style attributes stored in their associated material. Lines with complex styles are imported as geometry.

     Note

    This option is less accurate but assists in reducing memory usage and import time.

    End of the note.

  • Geometry: Imports all lines as polylines without storing style attributes. This includes lines with simple styles in addition to the more complex styles.

     Note

    This option more accurately represents the original data, however, it increases memory usage and import time.

    End of the note.

• Allow Font Substitution: If enabled, missing SHX fonts are substituted with matching TrueType fonts. This reduces overall CGM file size but in same cases substitution might not be exact match.

• Collapse Objects: Groups similar objects together based on their type and associated layer

   Note

  This option can simplify the model hierarchy as well as reducing memory usage, but may increase import time. In addition, the individual members of a group cannot be edited separately.

  End of the note.

• Normalize Scene: Scales small objects to reduce the display of geometric artifacts and minimize floating point errors. This is helpful when a model is very small or very large, or when the polygon reduction process is slow.

• Use Geometry Primitives: If this option is set to Yes, the fields Import Line Patterns and Geometry Import Preference are disabled and Import Line Patterns will be by default, Prefer Line Material. Geometry Import Preference defaults to As Saved.

Model View

Determines the way in which objects are imported and displayed in Model-Space views

• Geometry Import Preference: Determines the way in which the geometry of solid or surface mesh objects is displayed in Model-Space views. Note that this option does not affect the way in which wireframe geometry is displayed.

  • As Saved: Uses the original display style

  • Prefer Outlines: Displays objects with their outline only

  • Prefer Solids: Displays objects as solids or surfaces

  • Prefer Solids with Outlines: Displays objects as solids or surfaces with their outlines highlighted

• Import Named Views: Imports named Model-Space views in addition to the default one, if any exist

• Initial Zoom: Controls how the model is initially displayed after import

  • As Saved: Uses original camera position and zoom factor

  • Zoom to Extents: Positions the model to the middle of the viewport and zooms the current model to its extents in the viewport so that it fully fills it

• Background Color Preference: Uses a different color palette for displaying entities with indexed colors, depending on whether the background is dark or light

   Note

  This option only functions for entities that use indexed colors, and does not affect entities with true colors. These entities always retain their color regardless of the color of the background.

  End of the note.

  • Prefer Dark: Displays the model with a dark (usually black) background and light foreground colors

  • Prefer Light: Displays the model with a light (usually white) background and dark foreground colors

  • Use Custom: Displays the model with a user-defined background color. The color of foreground entities depends on the shade of the background color

• Custom Background Color: Sets a user-defined background color. This option only functions if the option Use Custom is effective

Layout Views

Determines the way in which objects are imported and displayed in Paper-Space (Layout) views

• Geometry Import Preference: Determines the way in which the geometry of solid or surface mesh objects is displayed in Paper-Space (Layout) views. Note that this option does not affect the way in which wireframe geometry is displayed.

  • As Saved: Uses the original display style

  • Prefer Outlines: Displays objects with their outline only

  • Prefer Solids: Displays objects as solids or surfaces

  • Prefer Solids with Outlines: Displays objects as solids or surfaces with their outlines highlighted

Geometry Transformation

Transforms (rotate, position, and scale) the scene along the X, Y, and Z axes

• Rotation: Sets the degrees of rotation around each axis from 0 to 360 degrees. The rotation values can be entered with up to 6 decimal places.

• Scale: Scales the object along the X, Y, and Z axes

• Position: Sets the position of the scene along the X, Y, and Z axes
