The import of a DXF or DWG file as a "mod" file involves a number of steps in which configuration files play a crucial role:

  • The DXF/DWG files that have to be converted should be chosen.
  • 'Label 4' of the configurations file dxf<configuration_name>.cfg is run through in which certain variables are set.
  • 'Label 5' of the dxf<configuration_name>.cfg file is run through in order to execute actions before conversion.
  • Using the Tab files, the elements from the AutoCAD layers are placed in CADMATIC Hull fragments during the import action, a drawing model will be created in the subdirectory '<project>\<section>\2d\overige'.
  • Conversions will be executed which are defined by the Spec_name variable.
  • 'Label 6' of the dxf<configuration name>.cfg file is run through in order to execute post-conversion actions.
