Line Types

You can manage V6 Line Type standards for V4 to V6 migration. This topic explains its methodology, wherein, you will learn how the migration of line types is carried out, and what you need to pre-define concerning the V6 standard parameters before starting the migration process.

This page discusses:

Migration mechanism

The following mapping is used to migrate a line type (line font) from V4 to V6 (n represents the line type number):

  • The first six V4 line types are mapped to the first eight V6 line types. These may not be modified. V4 line type 1 to 6 = V6 line type 1 to 8
  • Line types from 7 onwards (to 32) must be mapped by the administrator. V4 line type n = V6 line type n +2 Example V4 line type 10 = V6 line type 12

This mapping is also used when browsing V4 models in V6.

Pre-definition

You need to reference the V6 user-defined line types in V6 as there were in V4.

In V4, line types are defined in the STANDARD/LINETYPE function.

In V6, when migrating a V4 model, it is the lines defined in the Standards Editor, under Standard > name_of_standard > Linetypes which are referenced. However, when browsing a V4 model, it is the lines defined in Tools > Options > General > Display > Linetypes tab which are referenced.
