SMS:CAD Data Workflow: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:37, 27 August 2015

To use CAD data in SMS, use the following steps:

1. Import CAD data files.
Before importing, check that the data is in a file type that SMS can recognize. For CAD data these are DXF and DWG files. Use the File \| Open command to launch the Open dialog. The data should load in layers into the Project Explorer.

2. Review and edit data.
Check data to see that it shows up in the Project Explorer and any feature objects are in the Graphics Window. Check data projection. Check data attributes. Convert data to any of the follow: CAD → Map CAD Faces → 2D Scatter triangles CAD Points → 2D Scatter

3. Export to CAD Data (optional).
Project data can be converted to CAD data. Right-click on an empty space in the Project Explorer and select Convert to CAD. Save a CAD data file. CAD data will be loaded into the Project Explorer
