The CAD header file must be of the type DXF or DWG. The header file can contain definitions for blocks, layers or line types.

Before a CAD export, e.g. layers with certain default colors can be defined. Blocks and the associated attributes can also be saved in the header. With the CAD export it is than possible to control the created layers or blocks. Before the export, in the header should however be saved only the information for rendering the data (e.g. Definition Layer or blocks) and no content.

The name for the header file is specified in the xml configuration, attribute HeaderFileName, for each task.

In the configuration only one header file can be accessed at a time. If several files are specified, the one will be used that is accessed in the first performed task.

Header files are searched in the following directories in the given sequence:

 

•Installation Directory\Bin\Config

•Directory configured in the XML file. Setting in the attribute DefaultDir.

•Installation Directory\Bin

•Custom definition in the StoremanagerConfiguration.xml in the Installation Directory\Configuration

•In the directory of the ArcMap document

•Installation Directory\Configuration

•Installation Directory\Configuration\CAD-Export

 

The Installation Directory is set at the setup. Example: C:\Program Files\SynerGIS\GeoOffice\

In a log file that is also recorded with the export, you can see which header file is accessed.
