Export Tab

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

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

If required, use the tab to select a "seed" AutoCAD drawing file in which AutoCAD line types are defined.

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

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

• To select a seed file:

  1. Click the ... button next to the Cable Line Style Reference File (.dwg) field.

  2. Browse for the required .dwg file.

     The file path and name of the selected file are then displayed in the field.
