PROCAD

To load a PROCAD DXP file , proceed as follows:

1. Click the ISD Button and select Open.
2. Select DXF/DWG/V11.

Just as for the DXF interface, an appropriate conversion file, PROCAD.DAT, is available for the PROCAD interface.

This file allows you to specify the conversion of "real" dimensioning and a colour for "unreal" hatching (patterning).

Please note:

• If desired, you can also load DXP files via the HiCAD Start Centre.
• Conversion is based on DXP files. An external PROCAD to DXP converter is required.
