Defines the position of the imported dxf or dwg file on the 3D view. The import origin, import plane and layer settings can be specified.
Origin
Specifies the origin point of the imported elements on the 3D view.
|

If required, select one or all of the Lock check boxes to lock the explicit position of the current co-ordinate along the E/W, N/S or U/D axis.
Alternatively, Click Pick to specify an origin point on the 3D view.
Plane
Specifies the plane of the imported elements with respect to the ENU or XYZ axes.
Layers
Each created Aid Group (AIDGRO) element has a limit of 200 Aid Line (AIDLIN), Aid Arc (AIDARC) and Aid Text (AIDTEX) elements. When an AIDGRO element reaches the limit, a new AIDGRO element is created. Functionality is available to name and group the AIDGRO elements using the respective layers from the source dxf or dwg file.
|
Group by layer |
The AIDGRO elements include the drawing name and respective layer name from the source dxf or dwg file upon import. |
|
Include layers that are Off |
If the check box is selected, layers that are Off in the source dxf or dwg file are imported. If the check box is not selected, layers that are Off in the source dxf or dwg file are not imported. |
Click Import to import the drawing.
The new AIDGRO, AIDLIN, AIDARC and AIDTEX elements display in the Model Explorer.
Once the drawing has been imported, click Next to proceed to the Post Positioning part of the DXF/DWG Import window.
