About Dimension Conversion.
In a few "dimensions" cases, the text of the dimension
can be a text with an associative link. In all "dimensions" cases, the geometry
support is in No Show.
Note:
associative dimensions are not supported.
|
leader
|
|
semantic arrow
|
Editable in Drafting. The dimension style data is then applied to
the arrow (color, line thickness, line type, ...). Drafting Standards impact the default arrow head.
Since the arrowhead is automatically mapped to the
default Arrowhead defined in the Drafting Standard, any specific arrowhead defined in
DXF is lost.
DXF standards may impact the line type mapping.
Note:
Automatic mappings apply to line thickness and
color.
The leader complies with the unit of
the file. Spline leaders are automatically converted to
polylines leaders (with precision defined by the fitting
points included in the DXF file).
|
tolerance
|
|
semantic geometrical tolerance
|
Editable with the Geometrical Tolerance in Drafting. DXF tolerances connected to a leader are
imported as Tolerances with the leader.
The dimension style data is then applied to the connected
leader (color, line thickness, line type, text
dimension, precision, tolerance,...). Drafting Standards may impact the default arrow head
used by the standard tolerance.
DXF standards may impact the font and line type mappings.
Note:
Automatic mappings apply to line thickness and
color.
The tolerance complies with the unit
of the file. The first symbol of the DXF tolerance must
be a tolerance symbol. If this is not the case, no
tolerance is created and an error message is issued.

If
Map DXF Layers with mapping table is
not selected:
When an AutoCAD layer has a name that corresponds to a
number between 0 and 999, this layer is imported as a layer with the number
associated:
- If a layer with the same number already exists, the
AutoCAD layer is imported in this layer, without changing its name.
- If there is no layer with the same number, the
AutoCAD layer is imported in a new layer, with the same name as in AutoCAD.
- If the AutoCAD layer has a name that does not match
any number in the available range, the layer is mapped on the first existing
layer that has the same name, or a new one is created on the first available
layer number.
If
Map DXF Layers with mapping table
is selected, see
About Standards.
