This dialog is designed to provide a customizable way to import and export from Roadeng to Autocad format files. It allows you to specify how you want lines and symbols to appear in Roadeng during import, and in Autocad during export. This can be very useful to eliminate any visual differences in the drawings that result because of the different ways linetypes and symbols are auto-generated.
For more information, see Autocad Translations File.
Linetypes and symbols are on two different tabs, the following options are the same for each:
This is a selectable list showing all the Softree linetypes / symbols defined in the currently loaded TRF file. Any items that have been paired with an Autocad item will not be shown in this list. The paired items will only appear in the One-to-one Matching List.
This is a selectable list showing all the Autocad linetypes / symbols defined in the currently loaded TRF file. Any items that have been paired with a Softree item will not be shown in this list. The paired items will only appear in the One-to-one Matching List.
Allows you to add more linetypes / symbols to the current TRF file. Linetypes / Symbols can be imported from Softree LIN, Softree SYM, Autocad DWG/DXF, or TRF files.
Allows you to remove any selected linetypes or symbols from the TRF file.
Pops up the Edit Linetypes Dialog or Edit Symbols Dialog, depending on which tab is currently active.
Any linetypes or symbols that do not appear in this list will be auto-generated during import or export. If you do not like the resulting auto-generated linetype or symbol, you can load your own and create an entry in the Matchings List that will be used during the next import or export.
This is a selectable list which represents the pairing of a Softree linetype or symbol with an Autocad linetype or symbol. The import/export process will reference this list and replace any items on it with its corresponding pair.
This will remove any selected pairs and send the items back to the above available lists.
