3.1.9.2.7. "Export options" tabbed page - Microstation DGN 2D

[Note] Note
  • When exporting into the dgn file, the information of the tabbed page Layers 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 override AutoCAD layer information, then use the tabbed page Export options.

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

    • Insert into MicroStation after document creation:

    • No Attributes : ....prevents certain attributes (for example texts from PARTproject) from being transferred to the CAD system during export.

    • Type of dimensionings:

      • Automatic:

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

      • Only symbolic dimensions:

        A dimensioning created in eCAT or created in PARTdataManager before the export is detected as such.

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

      • Only exploded dimensionings:

        Dimensioning and text are only displayed as exploded elements.

    • Line and color settings:

      Aside from the possibility of directly assigning lines and colors, the color and line settings may also be made dependent on the layer setting in the CAD system. For this, select the option "by layer".
