PC-Draft V11

Drawing > New/Open > Open > DXF/DWG/V11

To load a PC-Draft V11 file, activate the function, select V11 as file format and the required file.

Just as for the DXF interface, an appropriate conversion file, PCDRAFT.DAT, is available for the PC Draft interface.

Values given in the table can be set for the first four keywords.

BEMAS	1/0	"real" dimensioning yes/no, i.e. if you enter 1, dimension units but no dimension geometry or text is created.
SCHRA	1/0	"real" hatching yes/no, i.e. if you enter 1, hatch-elements are created and you can invoke options contained in the Hatching menu.
COLSR	3	colour for "unreal" hatching, i.e. patterning. Thereby making "patterning" immediately visible.
GRPKT	0/1/2	A group reference point can be set for each group transferred from PC-DRAFT. 0 = no point, 1 = normal point, 2 = fitting point

Please note:

The height of dimensioning will be taken over. Follow-on dimensions are taken over as independent dimensions.
The positioning of item numbers, form/dimension tolerances and welding symbols has been optimised.
Isolated points are also transferred.
The PC-Draft interface writes a table with foil layer assignment to layer 0. Foil names will be transferred to layer names are retained if SCHNA 1 is set.
Dimension arrows and lines belonging to PC-DRAFT dimension geometry are also assigned to the same layer.
In the case of super/sub-script, the PC-DRAFT interface also takes over differing heights.
If desired, you can also load V11 via the Start Centre.
