Linestyles export to Bricscad/Autocad

Post by Nicola Pozzobon »

Hi All
I am simply trying to be able to see the linework and symbols displayed in Autocad/Bricscad exactly how I see them in 12d.
At the moment when I export dxf or dwg from 12d and open them in Autocad/Bricscad I loose the styles.
For example the Water line -----W-----W----- becomes just solid.
Is there a way to convert the linestyl 4d file with the 12d styles into a .lin file or similar linetype file for CAD?
How would you go about doing this?
Cheers
Graeme Winfield

Hi Nicola

Did this reply help?
The process for this one is from 12d do a Plan Plot to DWG with no Template or Mapping File, and any linestyles will be ‘exploded’ into individual elements. Then in Acad/Bcad you can use the exploded lines to create new linetype definitions and add to your .LIN file.

A DWT and probably a matching acadmf is require to be used when outputting the DWG.
(the layer colours and linetypes need to be already defined in the DWT)
The above quote was how to the DWG linetype definition to match what is in 12d model.
