5.12.12.2. Classify symbols (DXF/DWG) as "Additional export formats " (manual)

In the following example, the CNSCAX|GFX|LAYOUT class is used.

Initial situation:

  • The 2D data (DXF/DWG) are stored in any pool directory (in this example this is the directory "symbol").

  • The unique identifier of each part has to be taken from the source file (e.g. PDT).

Procedure:

  1. The DXF/DWG files are entered in PARTproject under Additional export formats.

  2. The unique identifier is taken from the source file (e.g. PDT) and entered in the CNSCAX|GFX|LAYOUT class in the " CNS_DOC_CNSURI " characteristic.

The following describes the manual process, which can be automated just as well:

  1. Select the project to which you want to assign a certain symbol as additional export format. (In this example "c2fvvi412020.prj")

  2. Click in PARTproject -> Settings -> General tab -> General menu item -> Additional export formats click on the Browse button ....

    -> The same-named dialog is opened.

  3. Enter the path to the desired DXF file under Directory path [File path]. (Here $VAR0810002.)

  4. Under ID, enter the unique identifier as it can be found in the source file (e.g. PDT). (Here "0810002".)

  5. Also enter a description [Description].

  6. Confirm with OK.

    -> The DXF/DWG file is now entered under Additional export formats.

  7. Set the class CNSCAX|GFX|LAYOUT (layout)

    Enter the ID of the additional file in feature CNS_DOC_CNSURI using the following syntax.

    ADDFILE://ID

  8. If all entries are made, the part can be exported to the CAD.
