With Generate CAD export configuration a new export configuration for CAD formats can be created. In order to do this the Defaults.xml is needed. The Defaults.xml defines how GIS entities shall be converted into CAD entities. When generating, all layers of the current data frame are considered.

For the automatic generation of the configurations it is required that the viewed layers have to be saved into a MXD.

When generating the export configuration no Connection Files are created. These must be manually created and adjusted.

Generally, the export configuration in WebOffice differs from those that can be used in WebOffice export author by the suffix. In the author it is cadexport.config.settings. With regards to the content both are the same XML configuration files. The WebOffice export author is hence very well suited for testing the configuration. As filed location of the configuration, in this case attention is paid by default on the folder configuration under Program Files/SYNERGIS/GeoOffice. If the file with the correct ending is stored there, the configuration can be tested in the ArcGIS Desktop.
