(This functionality is available with the Input / Output module)
The following parameters are available to be set when outputting to a CAD file (where applicable).
| Item | Used to |
| Layer: | Set the CAD layer (Applies to LISCAD CAD and AutoCAD). The layer name can be up to 32 alpha numeric characters. |
| Level: | Set the CAD level (Applies to MicroStation). For MicroStation V7, the level name may be any integer number from 0 to 63. For MicroStation V8, the level name can be up to 32 alpha numeric characters. |
| Text | |
| Height: | Set the height on a plan of the label text that is output to a CAD system. The units will be in millimetres or inches on the plan depending on the units set in the Utilities/Configure/Units command. |
| Width: | Set the width on the plan of the label text that is output to a CAD system. The units will be in millimetres or inches on the plan depending on the units set in the Utilities/Configure/Units command. |
| Colour: | List the 256 colours that are available for selection to be used for label text that is output to a CAD system. |
| Font: | Set the text font of the label. The font is selected from a list box for LISCAD CAD. For MicroStation V7 key in a legal font number. For MicroStation V8 key in a legal alpha numeric font name. For AutoCAD key in a legal alpha numeric font name. Refer to the Font topic for further information. |
| Slant: | Set the slant of the label text that is output to a CAD system. The slant is in decimal degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. |
| Direction: | Set the direction of the label text that is output to a CAD system. The slant is in decimal degrees measured clockwise from the vertical. |
| Weight: | Set the line weight of the label text that is output to a CAD system.
For LISCAD CAD, the weight entered is the thickness of the line when
plotted at the scale of the plan to be created. The value entered for
weight depends on the Utilities/Configure/Units linear settings. For
metres enter the weight in mm, otherwise enter the weight in inches. For MicroStation V7, select a value from 0 to 31. For MicroStation V8, select a value from 0 to 31 or select ByLevel. Please refer to the MicroStation documentation. For AutoCAD, the line weight maybe selected ByLayer, ByBlock, the current AutoCAD drawing default line weight, or any of the predefined AutoCAD line weights available in the dropdown list. Please refer to the AutoCAD's documentation. |
| Proportional: | Select whether the font used is to be proportional or non-proportional. The effect of a non-proportional font is to evenly space the characters and numbers. |
| OK: | Close the dialog and save the current settings. |
| Cancel: | Close the dialog without applying the changes. |
