(This functionality is available with the Input / Output module)
| General Tab | |
| Co-ordinate Table | Select whether a Co-ordinate Table is to be drawn in the CAD file. |
| Radiation Table | Select whether a Radiation Table is to be drawn in the CAD file. |
| Short Line Table | Select whether a Short Line Table is to be drawn in the CAD file. |
| Arc Table | Select whether an Arc Table is to be drawn in the CAD file. |
| Photo Table | Select whether an Photo Table is to be drawn in the CAD file. |
| Model | Select whether the current data base
Model is to be drawn in the CAD file. An existing model must be selected from the Terrain Modelling/Display/Model command before it may be drawn in the CAD file. |
| Grid | Select whether a Grid is to be drawn in the CAD file. |
| Add Zero-Zero | Add a zero-zero symbol at the start of measured offsets and chainages. Refer to the distance attributes in the Attributes/Line Command. |
| Rounding | Select whether the rounding attributes set in the data base are
to be applied to the dimensions drawn in the CAD file. If this check box is not active, then the dimensions will be drawn at their specified precision. Refer to the Rounding and Precision topic. |
| Legend | Select whether a Legend is to be drawn in the CAD file. |
| Exaggeration | Select whether any exaggerated lines which may exist in the data
base are to have their exaggeration factors applied in the drawing of
the CAD file. If this check box is active, then the end point of any exaggerated line will be moved away from the start point of the line by the lines exaggeration factor. Refer to the exaggeration factor in the Attributes/Line Command |
| Use Default for All | Force the system to use the default code settings made in the Settings/Codes command for all codes. |
| Use rounded dimensions | Select whether the rounding attributes set in the data base are
to be applied in the computation of the polygon area. This check box
is only active if Rounding has been selected. Refer to the Rounding and Precision topic. |
| Attribute Offset Factors | |
| When exporting to a CAD system, two values determine the relative
positions between points and lines and their associated text (eg. Point
Id, Elevation, Code, Bearing, Distance etc.). The defaults for these two values have been set by experimentation and are generally satisfactory when exporting to CAD systems. However the determination of these values has been dependent on a clear knowledge of the font characteristics of the text being used in the target CAD system. This is not always the case and LISCAD can often only approximate the text dimensions. In these cases, changing these values may improve the appearance of the CAD drawing. |
|
| Point (Multiplying) | Attributes of a point have a minimum offset from the point for associated
text, and the multiplying factor is applied to this offset. The multiplying
factor is entered in 1/00ths. The default of 142 (1.42), is approximately
the square root of 2. If you have a square symbol of size 1.0 at a point,
this default value represents a circle around the point whose diameter
is equal to the diagonal of the square. A multiplying factor of less than 10 should not be set. |
| Line (Fixed) | The line offset factor is also entered in 1/00ths of a unit. In this case as the value is fixed length, the offset units are in 1/00ths of a millimetre. The default is 150 (1.5mm) and there is no minimum restriction as this value is simply the physical offset of the text from its associated line. |
| Default Symbols | Select the default symbols. Refer to the Default Symbol dialog box. |
| Ambiguous Distances | |
| Unit | Show the unit letter(s) at the end of ambiguous distances. For example, 6 or 9 metres will appear as 6m or 9m respectively. |
| Underline | Place a line under ambiguous distances. |
| LISCAD CAD Tab | |
| Large Decimal Point | Select if a large decimal point is required. |
| Layer Name as Group | Set that the group attribute will be used as the CAD layer name, regardless of the layer settings made in the CAD Output/Settings/Codes command. |
| Export Images | Select whether background images are to be exported. If the check box is active, any currently displayed background images will be exported to LISCAD CAD as an internal PNG image. |
| Hidden Line Layer | Specify the layer any hidden lines generated are to be placed. When exporting polygons to CAD, it may be that in order to faithfully reproduce the geometry of a polygon, some lines may need to be output that was not explicitly specified, e.g. they may be on a LISCAD group that was turned off. These lines are termed "hidden" and this gives the user the option of specifying the layer they go on. The hidden layer will be by default not turned on in CAD. |
| OK | Close the dialog box and save the settings. |
| Cancel | Close the dialog box without saving the changes to the settings. |
