By this tool, iDEES can generate a macro file to run in the PDMS/E3D. This macro will be generated in the same folder as referred AutoCAD file.


There are two types of import as follows:



Import Type


Import As Panel/Floor


(Thickness must be specified)

Suitable for Roads, Paving, Foundations,...


(All items must be POLYLINE (Not 2D Polylien))

To convert any object to POLYLINE in AutoCAD do the following steps:

 

1- Explode(XP) all items two or three times.

2- If you need TEXTs, explode them by:

      Express->Text-->Explode Text and select all text.

3- Export drawing to the WMF format(WMFOUT)

4- Create a new drawing and Import the already saved wmf file(WMFIN),

     This turns everything, including text and custom linetypes into polylines.
