In contrast, a DWG file can have only one design model and multiple sheet models. A DGN file can have multiple design models and sheet models. The default is 6, but the value can be increased to as high as 16 to create more precise (but larger) DXF files.ĭefines how non-default design models are saved to DWG files. This maintains the arc direction, but the negated extrusion can make the arc difficult to enter within AutoCAD.Ĭontrols the number of decimal places that are saved to DXF files. When saving a clockwise arc to DWG, the direction can be maintained by reversing the extrusion vector. In AutoCAD, arc entities are drawn counterclockwise, while in Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, arcs can be specified in either direction. When on, maintains a positive extrusion (and reverses arc direction) when saving clockwise arcs to DWG. In AutoCAD the clipping planes are not widely used and are difficult to control, so the recommended setting is Off.įorce Positive Extrusion For Clockwise Arcs If off, the clipping planes are not defined in the DWG file. If on, sets the front and back clipping planes when a view in a DGN file is saved to DWG. This can cause a mismatch with Bentley Raceway and Cable Management, which by default displays world coordinates. In particular, AutoCAD always displays coordinate values in the current UCS. AutoCAD's UCS is similar to Bentley Raceway and Cable Management's ACS, but the UCS is more heavily used in AutoCAD. If on, sets the AutoCAD UCS (User Coordinate System) from the current ACS (Auxiliary Coordinate System) when the DGN file is saved to DWG. If off, enter data fields are converted to underscore characters ( '_'). If on, converts empty enter data fields within text to space characters ( '') when the DGN file is saved to DWG. If this setting is checked on, and there is not an exact match in the AutoCAD table, a True Color (RGB) color is used.Ĭonvert Empty Enter-Data Fields to Spaces When a color from a Bentley Raceway and Cable Management table is saved to AutoCAD, it can use either the closest color in the AutoCAD table, or a 'True Color'.

These shared cells will look the same as the original dimensions in the DGN file, but will no longer be dimensions.īentley Raceway and Cable Management supports arbitrary, custom color tables, whereas AutoCAD supports only a fixed table. Such dimensions are dropped to the geometry as shared cells in a DWG file. Some examples of dimension features not supported by DWG are DIN dimensions that are effectively superscripted, dimension text that is pushed outside the extension lines due to fit options, and radial dimension whose text is placed beyond the center point. If on, drops dimensions which use features that are not supported by DWG.

If on, drops elements that use custom line styles not supported by AutoCAD to individual components.
