Export Tab (Enhanced Cable Block Diagram Options)

The Export tab is used to define Cable Block Diagram scaling settings for exports to AutoCAD, i.e. the drawing and line type scaling factors.

Note:
The default scalings are suitable for metric AutoCAD drawings. For imperial units (inches), dividing the above units by approximately 25 is suggested.

The tab can also be used, if required, to select a "seed" AutoCAD drawing file in which AutoCAD line types are defined.

Catalogue cables can then be associated with any of these line types on the Design Data tab of the Catalogue Cable Details window (refer to Add Cables to the Catalogue for details).

When Enhanced Cable Block Diagrams are exported to AutoCAD, the cables will be drawn using the line type associated with the catalogue cable they are based on.

To select a seed file, click the ... button next to the Cable Line Style Reference File (.dwg) field, and browse for the required .dwg file. The file path and name of the selected file are then displayed in the field.
