Properties

The folder Properties is a subfolder of the folder DxfEntity. The properties include the definition of each entity (layer, color, etc.). Which attribute is used for which DXF Entity is described in the Properties column.

HATCH attribute: RGB color for boundary line of the hatch.

 

x

HatchScale

HATCH attribute: Hatch scaling factor. Default = 1.0

 

x

HatchAngle

HATCH attribute: Hatch angle. Default = 0.0

 

x

DimStyle

The dimension style for the dimensions.

The dimension style is defined in the CAD header file. If not defined, the default is used.

 

x

UseRendererTextPosition

DIMENSION attribute: If 1, the position of the dimension text is used by the renderer. Default = 0.

 

x

UseRendererTextRotation

DIMENSION attribute: If 1, the rotation of the dimension text is used by the renderer. Default = 0.

 

x

DimTextHorizontalOffset

DIMENSION attribute: Horizontal offset. Default = 0.

 

x

DimTextVerticalOffset

DIMENSION attribute: Vertical offset. Default = 0.

 

x

UseRendererText

DIMENSION attribute: Default = 0. If this attribute exists and has the value of 1, the customs dimension texts are exported instead of the real dimension texts.

 

x

CustomEsriDimensionCulture

DIMENSION attribute: Default = CurrentCulture. The ESRI custom dimension texts are from the datatype double. For AutoCAD the data type need to be converted into the data type string. The CustomEsriDimensionCulture attribute specifies the culture, which is used for the conversion. E.g.: In Austria a comma is used for a decimal point. In the US a point is the typical format.

Format: xx-xx

Examples:

en-US > for USA

de-AT > for Austria

de-DE > Germany

 

x

CustomEsriDimensionFormat

DIMENSION attribute: Default = G. The ESRI custom dimension texts are from the datatype double. For AutoCAD the data type need to be converted into the data type string. The CustomEsriDimensionFormat specifies the numeric format.

Examples: E, F, G, N

x

PolygonInsertPoint

TEXT attribute: For the placement of polygon labels. Allowed values = Label (default), Centroid. The value Label positions the text as center point of the polygon. The position depends on the polygons geometry, but is always located inside the polygon. The value Centroid positions the text as centroid, which can also be located outside the polygon.

x

LinetypeScale

POLYLINE attribute. All entities for the task get the configured LTScale. The here definied value overrules the LinetypeScale from the General section. The value must be greater than 0.

 

x

MinNrOfPartsPerBezierSegment

POLYLINE and HATCH attribute for Bezier curves. Determines the minimum amount of parts per Bezier or eliptic arc segment. Each segment is splitted into a certain amount of parts. Default value is 10.

 

x

MaxAngleDeviationGrad

POLYLINE and HATCH attribute for Bezier curves. Determines the maximum angular deviation between the segments. If the angle is exceeded, the distance to the next vertex is halved as long as the angle is not exceeded anymore. Thereby, the amount of parts in one segment is increased. The maximum for the bisection per segment is 10. The default value is 5.
