Hi guys,
I have the following chalange:
We have to do arrangement drawings where it is shown everything: pipes, equipments, structures ...
Every pipe is asigned to a system by attribut 'Mdsysf'
The client want that each pipe to be on their own layer called by the system when we export from draft to dxf.
For example: Pipe 1 wich is asigned to 'Fire system' to be on a layer called 'Fire system' and Pipe 2 wich is asigned to 'Water supply' to be on layer called 'Water supply'
I mention that could be posible that two systems have the same color so I can't divide them in Autocad with a lisp code.
If you can help me with this problem I would apreciate alot!
I would like to tell you some things which might help you:
1. If you do Configurable DXF/DWG from Draft, you will get the layers as per the SITE/ZONE names (You can choose from the options whether you want to name from SITE or ZONE).
2. If at all you are extracting using Standard DXF CE, you need to map the layer mapping text file in autocad after opening the file in AutoCAD.
I think 1st Option will help you..as you can place the Particular PIPES in Particular ZONE. so, if all the Water Supply Pipes are in ZONE having name Water Supply then in autocad, you will get all those pipes in the layer Water Supply.
Hi, I experience that before, and our solution.. we make site 'PIPE' ---> zone 'PIPE_IA', PIPE_CW' etc etc.. make zone name as per fluid.. IA -->instrument air, CW --> circulationg water.. if you will model you must be in the zone of the fluid name your going to work.. same principle as pmlsan mention.. hopes it help
