Object matching table |
This table allows you to customize the reading of leader lines, hatches, bitmaps, tables and some other objects written to the DXF/DWG file. In a column Autocad are listed the objects that can be read in the column KOMPAS – variants of objects that can be obtained as a result of reading, and in the column Parameters – options for reading the arrow sizes, leader lines and hatch. The dependence of the reading result on the selected option is described in the following sections: Importing leaders, hatches, geometric tolerances, multilines and dimensions |
By default, a sequence of characters is loaded, which corresponds to the distribution set KOMPAS-3D file B_ESKD.SHX. You can interactively edit the correspondence between the special characters KOMPAS and ASCII character sequences, which are indicated in the DXF text file.
