||
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 |

||
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. |
