PROCAD

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

To load a PROCAD DXP file, activate the function, select .V11 as file format and then the required file.

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

PCDRAFT.DAT

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.
