Layout to DWG/DXF: why all lines are covered by black lines?
-
I really want to convert layout work to dwg,however,why all lines are covered by black lines?I have to change their properties one by one...it cost a lot of time,layout shouled fix it....
-
Change all properties at once by selecting all lines and then:
- Linestyle by Layer;
- Color by Layer;
- Width by Layer.
If needed, change every layer's color or just the ones you'll need as all layers will be colored automatically (probably black or white)
-
What I hope is all lines are all right,color,width,ect,and if layout give me 20 files ,I have to open the 20 files ,then do the same opration...that's not a good idea
-
Unfortunatelly, that's what happens...
That is also a problem I face when I export to dwg (that's why I don't do that often, though what I do doesn't solve your own problem).
How would you expect DWG export would behave? What would best fit your workflow?
For me it would be great if:
- Every page from Layout would be exported as a different paperspace page;
- Every viewport from Layout would be exported as a Block inside model space;
- Each of this blocks would be inside a separate layer named after the sketchup scene or, if viewport has no associated scene, a random name;
- Each viewport on each corresponding paperspace, with every scene/block/layer hidden except the one that corresponds to that specific viewport.
This way a CAD file would have a correct CAD organization and one that would correspond exactly to a Layout file organization. Each of this CAD blocks/viewports or pages could then be updated from layout or directly from Sketchup. There would be no need to export all page or file...
For me this would be perfect, but it would be very interesting if you could say what you'd like to see. Sketchup folks might not be able to read our minds, but they want to help us and they might be poking around here.
I'm sorry if this isn't very helpful...
Best regards,

Would be good if you can assign a color by line weight in the translation. You could save a template for each recipient's setup. I've seen apps that have that.

now I translate LO to PDF,then,translate all PDF to DWG with AI in one step,then I an see the lines...

do you lose anything in the process? do all the elements that you see in the pdf appear in the dwg?

All vector lines are still there,and AI adds much colorful pic...

what about dimensions and annotations?
-
dimensions and annotations can go through still....but,maybe it need some adjustment,Mtext become single word one by one...

I got a lisp file from my friend,now I can handle whole dwg files at one step
