Consultant can't access DWG elevations in model space


Recommended Posts

Christiaan,

In 2012 and beyond;

"Export Viewports as 2D Graphics in Model Space

Select this option to export all 2D and 3D objects that display inside a viewport as simple 2D (flat) graphics in model space. Each selected sheet is exported to a separate file. On re-import, all exported graphics are imported into a design layer.

● Viewports in Top/Plan view are exported without conversion to 2D lines.

● Rendered viewports in any view other than Top/Plan view are exported as groups.

● Non-rendered viewports in an orthogonal view (Top, Bottom, Front, Back, Left, and Right) are set to hidden line rendering and then exported as groups.

● Non-rendered viewports in an isometric view (including custom views) are converted to lines before export.

● Section viewports are exported as groups.

● Viewport annotations are extracted from the viewport groups and exported as single entities.

● All other sheet layer graphics (such as title blocks) are exported as single entities."

Thanks Stan, but doesn't that export everything as flat graphics? The consultant will need vector lines to measure off.

Edit: this is the same advice as Vincent gave me not long ago: http://techboard.vectorworks.net/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=167611#Post167611

Guess I keep avoiding that option because it sounds like it'll export a bitmap rather than vector data.

Thanks again.
