Exporting DWGs

[hmart]

I would like to have an option where VW appends a prefix- or -suffix to classes at export.
We export DWG to coordinate with consultants. Since they don't have a Class/Layer setup, things get very complicated very fast.

 

For walls on the in VW are on

Class: A-Wall

& Layer: 1st Floor Plan or 2nd Floor Plan

 

In AutoCAD that wall would end up on:

Layer: A-Wall (stacked on top of each other)

 

I would prefer to append the AutoCAD so the walls end up on:

Layer: A-Wall-1st Floor Plan

Layer: A-Wall-2nd Floor Plan

 

or some version of that. And the same for Plumbing fixtures & Doors & Windows, etc.

That is a very good idea.

I also stumble over ACAD not offering Layer+Classes.

 

Recently I really went from common VW-Class => Layer

to a VW-Layer => ACAD Layer and skip Classes completely.

Depends on what your project needs and can work well for

BIM (in Bricscad)

 

If Layer/Classes separation is really important, the way to go would be :

VW-Classes => ACAD Layer + each VW Layer as separate File option.

 

But referencing separate Files may give XREF-Layer Duplicate chaos

in ACAD anyway.

So an Export Option by combining VW Classes and Layers in

a ACAD Layer naming scheme would be very welcome.

Like :

ACAD Layer : "VW-LayerName_VW-ClassName"
