Is there a place where you can control/set these parameters (globally) for every time a drawing is exported to .dwg format?

 

 

Thanks, Dale

Dale,

Try changing the word "white" to "7".

Also, double check that the file is being read in properly.  Check the trail file and/or the std.out file for any errors.

This is what we're using:

map_color       BACKGROUND_COLOR          7

map_color       DIMMED_COLOR              7

map_color       LETTER_COLOR              7

map_color       HIGHLIGHT_COLOR           7

map_color       EDGE_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR      7

map_color       GEOMETRY_COLOR            7

map_color       HIDDEN_COLOR              7

map_color       SHEETMETAL_COLOR          7

map_color       CURVE_COLOR               7

map_color       VOLUME_COLOR              7

map_color       SECTION_COLOR             7

map_color       PRESEL_HIGHLIGHT_COLOR    7

map_color       SELECTED_COLOR            7

map_color       SECONDARY_SELECTED_COLOR  7

map_color       PREVIEW_GEOM_COLOR        7

map_color       SECONDARY_PREVIEW_COLOR   7

map_color       DATUM_COLOR               7

map_color       QUILT_COLOR               7

Dale,

Use the config.pro option:

intf2d_out_dxf_mapping_file <full path to mapping file>

in the mapping file, you can define

map_color

map_layer

map_line_style

map_font

For example:

map_color       BACKGROUND_COLOR          7

map_color       DIMMED_COLOR              7

map_color       LETTER_COLOR              7

map_color       HIGHLIGHT_COLOR           7

map_layer       DXF_AXIS                  1

map_layer       DXF_CONTINUOUS_LINE       2

map_layer       DXF_HIDDEN_LINE           3

map_line_style  solidfont                 continuous

map_line_style dotfont       dot

map_line_style  ctrlfont                  center

map_line_style  phantomfont               phantom

map_font        font                      verdana.ttf

map_font        filled                    verdana.ttf

map_font        isofont                   isocp3_iv50.ttf

Regards,

Dan N.

Is there a particular extension that you need to give to this file?

.scl are system color files, is there something like that?

If I try it and it doesn't work to my satisfaction, is there a way to turn it off?
