Hi
I have some problems with my DWG-exports from Openbuildings. The elements I've drawn in my designfile and are hidden are in my drawing file shown with a dashed line. Like this:
The problem now is that when I export this to DWG all those lines from my callout are continues in autocad.
Lines I've drawn in my drawingfile using line style 1-7 are all shown as expected. What is the reason for this? What setting do I have to change?
Regards,Robert
Hi Robert,
Iif you key-in 'dwg ltscale' what is the result shown in the Message Center?
What is the line style of the affected elements in the DGN?
Marc
The scale is one.
But that's not the problem. As I explained the lines drawn directly in the drawingfile are shown correctly. Also, I have access to autocad. I opened my exported DWG-file and had a look at the line's properties. The line style displayed is the one called continues.
Ok. I tried to export a model from both the test dataset_us and dataset_se to try the delivered dwg-settings but ended up with a completely empty file. I'll try this as well. But as you might understand this is a huge problem for us right now, that DWG:s looks completely wrong.
So you exported to DWG and the result was a completely empty DWG file? That is unusual. So to reiterate the above, you are starting with a cached drawing model and exporting that to DWG , correct? If so, is there any chance you could attache that drawing file?
Not really sure why that happened. But anyway, with the dws-file you sent me I can now export my dwg correctly. Although one thing is still bugging me, and has been for years.
Below is a screenshot of to models. They are exported in a batch conversion, with the same settings-file you sent me. But as you can see, the scale of the lines are completely different. Even the grid lines, created in a separate dgn (not with the grid line tool, only standard lines) are referenced in both those models, and appear differently in the export.
How could this be?
And another thing. When i attach the dwg as a reference in a DGN-file the dwg seem to have only continous lines:
I'm afraid this is getting a bit beyond my knowledge of the DWG format. If others reading this thread have input that would be great! You could also try-reposting these last points over on the MicroStation community for additional views.
