Creates a new DWG file
with all AEC objects exploded.
Access Methods
Command entry: -exporttoautocad or
aectoacadSummary
You can create a new version of a drawing file
with all proxy AEC objects exploded into basic AutoCAD LT objects.
The new version of the drawing loses the intelligence of the custom
AEC objects, but the resulting basic objects can be displayed and
accessed in earlier versions of AutoCAD LT when object enablers
are not available for those versions.
NoteAny subsequent changes
you make to this new drawing file do not affect the original drawing
file.
List of Prompts
The following prompts
are displayed.
Export options [Format/Bind/bind
Type/Maintain/Prefix/Suffix/?]
<Enter
for filename>: Enter an option or press Enter to specify
a file name
Enter for Filename
Creates a new drawing
file with the specified name.
NoteYou can use the Prefix
option to create a unique file name for this drawing and to prevent overwriting
the existing drawing file.
Format
Determines the drawing
file format for the resulting drawing file.
Bind
Determines how xrefs
are treated when creating the new drawing.
- Yes
-
Binds all xrefs to the
drawing. Layers and other xref-dependent named objects are merged
into the new drawing.
- No
-
Maintains the xrefs as
links to other drawings.
Bind Type
Determines how xref-dependent
objects are treated when the Bind option is turned on.
- Bind
-
Maintains the names of
layers and other xref-dependent objects when binding xrefs.
- Insert
-
Merges the names of xref-dependent
objects into the new drawing without including the original file
name.
Maintain
Determines how blocks
within custom AEC objects are treated.
- Yes
-
Explodes all block instances
within custom AEC objects into basic AutoCAD LT objects. The resulting
basic objects revert to their original properties rather than the
properties of the block definitions.
- No
-
Does not explode any
block instances within custom AEC objects. The properties of the
block instances are determined in the usual way, depending on how
the objects in the blocks were created and the property settings
of the layers on which the blocks are inserted.
Prefix
Specifies the prefix
to be added to the current drawing file name.
Suffix
Specifies the suffix
to be added to the current drawing file name.
? List Settings
Lists the current settings
for the command.
