The Data exchange section of the Settings dialog contains settings applicable to object import and export.
Note:
The number of displayed options depends on the environment from which the settings were opened. All the options are available when the settings are launched from the workspace / workdesk environment.
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., exchanging data between CAD systems with a black background and systems with a white background.
- Unit (WRL, STRL, ...): Determines the unit for importing VRML object files.
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., exchanging data between CAD systems with a black background and systems with a white background.
- <Objects to be exported>: Activate the check boxes of the objects which you want to export.
