-
Export Attributes as Tags - in combination with the Use Nested Cells box this allows for including shape attributes in the produced drawing
-
Export Embedded Objects - This is for allowing export of references/attachments. DGN can then be exported with OLE files and bitmaps.
-
Seed file name - The seed file (contains default settings and attributes) will be opened and Diagrams data will be added to it.
-
Line type and font libraries - This is a list of libraries to use with mapping. To control the contents of these lists, you may do modifications in DiagramsDGNExport.xml.
To finalize the export load the libraries for mapping, save and load the settings in the project folder and start the export.
