Options available in DXF/DWG Configuration Files

NestedBlocks

ON, OFF

Enables or disables nesting of blocks in the exported file. When OFF, all blocks are created at the same hierarchical level.

BlockBack

ON, OFF

Enables or disables the creation of a single Block definition for the DRAW backing sheet.

BlockOlay

ON, OFF

Enables or disables the creation of a Block definition for each DRAW overlay sheet.

BlockFill

ON, OFF

Enables or disables the creation of a single Block definition for each DRAW hatch/fill pattern

HeaderFileName

Text string

Specifies the header file name, which will be read into DRAW and used as a backbone template for generating the information. Must be a valid AutoCAD DXF or DWG file. Usually over-ridden with the HEADERF/ILE command line option.

LayerDefAA

Text string

Defines a layer to be used with one or more layer rules. The letters AA should be replaced by AB, AC, … AZ for additional definitions.

OutputFileName

Text string

Specifies a default filename to use for output. Usually over-ridden by the OUTPUTF/ILE command line option.

ScaleFactor

A positive real number 1.0

Scale Factor applied to entire exported file to enable full scale Design units to be output in the exported file, or to export to fit a different paper size. Usually known as ‘ScaleUp’.

OwnerFrame

ON, OFF

Enables or disables the drawing of paper and view frame(s) in the exported file.

IgnoreBlockRules

ON, OFF

Enables or disables the use of blocking rules to create blocks in the exported file.

UseLayerRules

ON, OFF

Enables or disables the use of layer rules to set layers for design elements in the exported file.

ViewNumberPrefix

ON, OFF

Enables or disables the prefixing of layers created with a view-specific prefix; only operative if either LAYERZONE or LAYERSITE is enabled

LayerZone

ON, OFF

Enables or disables the creation of a unique layer for each Design ZONE and places all design information from that zone onto the layer (unless matched by a layer rule).

LayerSite

ON, OFF

Enables or disables the creation of a unique layer for each Design SITE and places all design information from that site onto the layer (unless matched by a layer rule).

If both LayerSite and LayerZone are specified, layering by Zone takes precedence.

BLOCK

-

Defines a blocking rule.

LAYER

-

Defines a layer rule.
