Options

The following properties allow control of the export.

General	Description
Content	If there are objects selected then only selected objects are exported. Displayed - If no objects are selected then only visible objects are exported. All - If no objects are selected then all objects are exported regardless of whether they are visible.
Version	Select the LISCAD CAD version the file should be written to.
Curve Tolerance	Enter the maximum offset distance from a line to the chord between adjacent vertices in the line. Use this value to control the smoothness of circular arcs and splines that need to be output as straight line segments.
Background Colour	Select the background colour to set in the file.
Open Exported File	Select whether the file being created should be automatically opened when the export is complete.
Maximum Image Dimension	Enter the maximum image dimension (width or height) for georeferenced images being exported. Valid values are between 1,000 to 50,000 pixels.
Colours	LISCAD - Use LISCAD colours for exported objects. AutoCAD - Use AutoCAD colours for exported objects. MicroStation - Use MicroStation colours for exported objects. 12d Model - Use 12d Model colours for exported objects. Captivate - Use Leica Captivate colours for exported objects.
Lookup Tables	Description
Layer	Select the Layer lookup table to be used during the export.
Line Style	Select the Line Style lookup table to be used during the export.
Plan Symbol	Select the Plan Symbol lookup table to be used during the export.

A blank selection for a lookup table indicates that no lookup will be performed.

Notes

LISCAD CAD objects created during the export can include: Symbols, Lines, Arcs, Splines, Polygons, Text and Images, as well as definitions for symbols and line styles.
Polygons without solid fill are exploded and exported as lines.
Polygon hatching pattens are exploded and exported as lines.
Points without symbols will not be exported.
The export to LISCAD CAD 10.0 or later file formats is supported.
If Open Exported File is selected the file will attempt to be opened using the application registered with the operating system as the default for that file type.
The value of Maximum Image Dimension controls the resolution of georeferenced images being exported. A higher value produces higher resolution images in the CAD file.
