The following limitations affect the transfer of information from Design to AutoCAD.
-
The interface translates 3D geometric elements only.
-
BOUN and DRAW elements and 3D lines are not translated.
-
Most element names are not translated. The names of the Site, Zone and STRU/EQUI etc may be transferred as Block names, if the Marine names are valid for AutoCAD blocks.
-
Element attributes are not translated.
-
The database hierarchy is not translated and any catalogue components are copied for every instance.
-
Primitives are translated in millimeter units only.
-
All geometry is transferred to the DXF file as facetted objects (cylinders are transferred references to a single prismatic extrusion - stored as an AutoCAD block).
