DWG Export Settings

Define the element conversions when a Vertex drawing is exported into DWG format in the DWG Export Settings dialog box.

General

Defines the DWG version, the conversion of macros and dimensions, and the color table for all elements.

Click a header to sort the table, for example primarily by the Vertex layers used in the drawing, numerical order of the Vertex layers or the AutoCAD colors/layers.

A red spot in an icon indicates that the table is sorted by the Vertex layers used in the drawing, for example.

The Vertex layers used in the drawing are indicated by the symbol.

Save

Click the Save button when you want to save the setup file under a new name.

Edit

Click the Edit button after you have selected a row for editing from the table. You can alternately double-click the row. Select more than one row by holding down Ctrl while clicking with the left mouse button.

Close

Click the Close button when exiting the export settings. You can also save the changes made to the settings or prevent the changes from being saved.

Layers

Defines the conversion of elements drawn on Vertex layers.

Properties defined with checkboxes constitute a specialty for defining the conversion of elements belonging to a layer. The checkbox can be empty (property not selected), selected or it can retain the original value.

Preview

Select the Preview checkbox to have the Vertex drawing display only the elements drawn on the layer selected for editing.

Set

Click the Set button to set the changes you made to the layer selected for editing.

Texts/Lines

Defines the text styles and line types of elements drawn on Vertex layers.

Other

Defines the system variables of the DWG format.

Expert: lines, texts, hatches, macros
