Options

The following properties allow control of the export.

General	Description
Content	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 SEE version the file should be written to.
Code Table	Enter the name of the LISCAD SEE Code Table to be used with the exported file.
Parameter File	Enter the name of the LISCAD SEE Parameter file to be used with the exported file.
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.
Vertex Point Id prefix	Enter a prefix that will be added to the vertex Ids when it is necessary to create LISCAD SEE Points.
Open Exported File	Select whether the file being created should be automatically opened when the export is complete.
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.
Group	Select the Layer lookup table to be used to map layers to groups 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 SEE objects created during the export can include: points, lines, arcs, clothoid and NSW cubic parabola transition curves, splines, alignments, long sections, polygons, text, images, models, background images, symbols, line styles and hatching.
2D circular curves are exported as SEE arcs.
3D circular curves are exported as multi-segment lines using the Curve Tolerance.
The export to LISCAD SEE 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.
If a LISCAD SEE Code Table or Parameter File is not specified, LISCAD SEE will use the default Code Table or Parameter file.
If you have Unique Point Identifiers set in LISCAD ensure point names are unique prior to exporting.
The time to export images will be dependent on the size of the image.
Set Content to 'All' to export long sections or set Content to 'Display' and include the long sections alignment in the selection.
Section markers are exported with long sections.
