The CAD writers provide options for processing data during export. Some of these options are available from the Export tab while other options are accessed only from each writer's _writer.ini file. The options that are available from each writer's writer.ini file, along with those specific to each format, are explained in detail within the Export Options sections for each writer.
There are also no message files generated for the export of CAD data.
The general export options that are available from the Export tab include:
Version |
Corresponds to the @Version option. |
File Mode |
Corresponds to the @FileMode option. |
Export |
Corresponds to the @Export option. |
Units |
Corresponds to the @Units option. Set an export unit before exporting by manually selecting a unit system from a list of units, or click From Metadata and select an export unit from the MODEL_UNIT metadata attached to the component. If the components have differing MODEL_UNIT metadata values, the most commonly used value is adopted and a warning message is displayed. To prevent the frequent, unintended, selection of units, the units selection is cleared anytime the export CAD file type is changed and you must reselect the units before exporting. |
Output Loop |
Corresponds to the @OuterLoop option. |
Layers |
Corresponds to the @Layers or @LayersMode options. |
Geom Mode |
Corresponds to the @GeometryMode option. |
Topo Mode |
Corresponds to the @TopologyMode option. |
Assem Mode |
Corresponds to the @AssemblyMode option. |
Naming Mode |
Corresponds to the @WriteMetaDataAsName and @WriteNameFrom options. |
Optimize for CAD |
Corresponds to the @OptimizeForCAD option. |
Prompt before overwrite |
If enabled, prompts the user if the specified file name already exists and will be overwritten. |
