If you want to convert WMS data objects such as feature object coverages, TINs, contours, etc. you can choose the Data – CAD option in the CAD menu. This will convert the various WMS data objects into separate CAD layers which can be controlled from the Display Options dialog. The colors of the layers will be inherited based on the current WMS display options settings for the individual objects.
At the current release polygon data types are not supported in the conversion from WMS to CAD, however arcs that make up polygons, or triangles that make up color-filled contours are saved as layers.
Example
To export a delineated watershed with only the watershed boundary displayed, the user would follow these steps:
- 1. Select Display menu then Display Options...
- 2. Select Map Data on the left side of the Display Options dialog
- 3. Make sure that only the Generic (under Arcs) box is checked in the Map tab of the display options
- 4. Right click on the DEM item under Terrain Data in the Project Explorer
- 5. Select Delete
- 6. Switch back to the map module by either selecting "Map Data" in the Project Explorer or the Map module macro at the top of the screen
- 7. Select the "Select feature line branch" tool in the map module toolbar
- 8. Delete each of the stream arcs by selecting each with the "Select feature line branch" tool
- 9. Make sure you are back in the Map module (see step 8)
- 10.Select "CAD | Data-> CAD"
- 11.Select "File | Save As..." and save the file as a .dwg/.dxf file
