This dialog is designed to provide a customizable way to import and export from Roadeng to Autocad format files. It allows you to specify how you want lines and symbols to appear in Roadeng during import, and in Autocad during export. This can be very useful to eliminate any visual differences in the drawings that result because of the different ways linetypes and symbols are auto-generated.
It is accessed through the Module|Setup Menu, by way of the Translations button on the General tab.
Linetypes and symbols are on two different tabs, the following options are the same for each:
Available
Softree List
This is a selectable list showing all the Softree linetypes / symbols defined in the currently loaded TRF file. Any items that have been paired with an Autocad item will not be shown in this list. The paired items will only appear in the One-to-one Matching List.
Autocad List
This is a selectable list showing all the Autocad linetypes / symbols defined in the currently loaded TRF file. Any items that have been paired with a Softree item will not be shown in this list. The paired items will only appear in the One-to-one Matching List.
Load
Allows you to add more linetypes / symbols to the current TRF file. Linetypes / Symbols can be imported from Softree LIN, Softree SYM, Autocad DWG/DXF, or TRF files.
Remove
Allows you to remove any selected linetypes or symbols from the TRF file.
Any linetypes or symbols that do not appear in this list will be auto-generated during import or export. If you do not like the resulting auto-generated linetype or symbol, you can load your own and create an entry in the Matchings List that will be used during the next import or export.
Matchings List
This is a selectable list which represents the pairing of a Softree linetype or symbol with an Autocad linetype or symbol. The import/export process will reference this list and replace any items on it with its corresponding pair.
Delete Matching
This will remove any selected pairs and send the items back to the above available lists.
