[Note]Note

  • When exporting to the dgn file, the information on the Layers tab page is stored in the file.

    Example: "Thick lines" are mapped to layer "AM_0" and are stored in the dgn file in yellow.

    Example: "Thick lines" are mapped to layer "AM_0" and are stored in the dgn file in yellow.

    If the file is imported into an existing drawing, then AutoCAD settings have priority.

    Example: Mechanical-Layer-Manager: AM_0 = white. The inserted part is depicted with white "Thick lines".

    Example: Mechanical-Layer-Manager: AM_0 = white. The inserted part is depicted with white "Thick lines".

    If the file is opened apart, then the depiction will be with the layer color specified in the dgn file.

  • Layers not existing in AutoCAD are created according to the defaults.

  • If you want to overwrite CAD layer information, use the Export options tab page.

    Example: In this case the "Thick lines" are depicted in blue.

    • Then insert into the active MicroStation application [Insert into MicroStation after document creation]:

    • Do not generate attributes [No Attributes] ...prevents certain attributes (e.g. texts from PARTproject) from being transferred to the CAD system during export.

    • Type of dimensions [Type of dimensionings]:

      • Automatic:

        If a symbolic dimensioning can be created then it is used, otherwise the exploded.

      • Symbolic dimensions [Only symbolic dimensions] only:

        A dimensioning created in eCAT for the component or a dimensioning created in the PARTdataManager before the export is recognized as such.

        When using this option the dimensioning is created as "real" dimensioning. After selection the respective dialog is displayed.

      • Resolved dimensions [Only exploded dimensionings] only:

        Dimensioning and text are only displayed as exploded elements.

    • Line and color settings:

      In addition to the option of specifying certain lines and colors directly, you can also make the color and line setting dependent on the layer setting in the CAD system. To do this, select the "by layer " setting.
