Dexie Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I have received large number of symbols from a housebuilder in AutoCAD and have imported into VW. Everything in the symbols is by class except the line weights, for which they have used a 6mm line width to colour the wall thickness. Is there anyway, even via a script of making all attributes within the symbols by class even line weight without opening up each symbol and editing it. Quote Link to comment
Jim Smith Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 If the line weights are set by a pen plot set by colour, you can, upon import customize these so they are converted to the correct line weight. You will need to know what the Plot Set is from the other firm. Quote Link to comment
RickR Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 They might also have (or you can make?) a CTB file which maps color to line weight, and can map to "by layer" if done right. Perhaps someone here can create one. I've seen them but not done it myself. VW requires that this CTB file be in the same directory as the imported DWG. Quote Link to comment
Dexie Posted March 31, 2014 Author Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thats a good idea about the CTB file. There wasn't one with the AutoCAD drawing but there is no reason why they can't create one. Cheers Quote Link to comment
