Please note:
- This file enables you to specify a colour for "unreal" hatching.
- The value 1 must always be set for BEMAS, otherwise dimensioning will not be transferred.
- If desired, you can also load DXB files via the HiCAD Start Centre.
Save BABCAD file
Drawing > Save/Print... > Save as > Conversion > Create BABCAD - DXB 
HiCAD drawings can be conversion into a DXB file. The DXB (Data Interchange Binary Format) - a binary variant of the DXF format - can be read by BABCAD.
To save the current drawing to a DXB file, activate the Drawing tab and select Save/Print > SaveAs > Conversion > Create BABCAD - DXB.
