Import CAD Symbols
- Last UpdatedJun 25, 2024
- 2 minute read
Imports previously created CAD symbols from a selected location in the format of a .dwg, .dxf or .dwt file. The symbols are imported as member elements of the currently selected symbol palette.
Navigate to and select the files for import.
The application maps the imported symbols to available classes in the conceptual model by matching the filename with a class. The filenames of the imported files should match the intended class and may need modifying.
Note:
If two files are to be mapped to the same class in the conceptual model, name the
second file with a .1 naming convention to successfully map to the correct class.
