The Data exchange section contains settings applicable to object import and export.
The following dialog elements are available:
Import
In this subnode, you find the following dialog elements:
- Tesselation quality (STEP, IGES): Determines the quality of imported STEP and IGES objects.
- Invert gray-scale colors (DXF, DWG): Inverts gray-scale colors to their opposite color on the black-and-white scale. This can be useful when, e.g., importing data from CAD systems with a black background to systems with a white background.
- Unit (WRL, STRL, ...): Determines the unit for importing VRML object files.
- Preferred 3D macro import license type: Determines which type of license is to be used when importing 3D macros from EPLAN Platform database. If the selected type of license is not available, other types of licenses are automatically applied, if possible, in the following order: EPLAN Electric P8 > EPLAN Pro Panel > EPLAN Fluid.
Export
In this subnode, you find the following dialog elements:
- Convert MTEXT colors to ACI (DXF): Since 2004, the DXF specification allows to define a full ARGB color scale for MTEXT objects. This can lead to compatibility problems with older DXF imports. In case this check box is activated, EPLAN Harness proD will convert the colors to the older AutoCAD Color Index (ACI).
- Invert gray-scale colors (DXF, DWG): Inverts gray-scale colors to their opposite color on the black-and-white scale. This can be useful when, e.g., importing data from CAD systems with a black background to systems with a white background.
