Exporting drawings autocad

These drawings can be sent to a printing service, for example, to make plots without the need for AutoCAD Architecture toolset or the Object Enabler. A list with the currently active export settings from the AEC Editor options page is displayed:.

The following AutoCAD file format versions are available:. In this case, for example, all exploded walls, regardless of their source host or xref are located on the same layer. In this case, for example, the blocks that define walls in the host drawing are located on A-Wall in the exploded drawing. Use this procedure to export a drawing created in the software to AutoCAD. Reopening the file in the software does not restore these primitive objects to AEC objects.

Any non-rectangular polygonal or object Mviews are converted to rectangular Mviews. If you want to… Then… export the currently active representation of the AEC objects in the drawing activate the Model tab. Only those representations in the currently active view will be generated. The representations for all layouts will be generated. Tip: This will usually result in duplicate graphics on the Model tab, which makes the drawing less useful. The icon next to the file name indicates if the xref is unloaded in the host drawing.

Alternatively, on the command line, enter ifcexport. If you select an xref at the top level, all xrefs nested within this drawing are selected as well.

Expand the top level, and select xrefs individually if necessary. If you want xrefs to display as a distinct level within the IFC file, specify different identifying labels. You can specify the same identifier, such as Level 1 , for multiple xrefs to combine the objects within those xrefs into one IfcBuildingStorey. You can select multiple drawing files and change all labels or descriptions at the same time.

Open the drawing that you want to export as an IFC file. For Project Name, if necessary, modify the name.
