controlling "global width" in a DWG-export from Map3D

Hi all,

 

I need to export data from an Oracle-connection (application module). Regardless of the definition of the application module, what is the best way (best practice) to export points, lines and polygons in a WYSIWYG-way?!

 

In my special case I'm dealing with lines and their appearance.

So, short story long Smiley Wink

    • as a result the map looks like:
      map1.JPG
      The dashed line is 0.25m wide and has a pattern of 0.9m dash, 0.3m space, which correspond to the layer definition (measurments are in mm)
    • the DWG-export looks like (To keep the linetype pattern I choose a DWT-drawing which contains the linetypes (here: LTYP8)):
      map1_export.JPG
      The pattern is correct, but the line width is not what expected. A plot to PDF has the same result.

    • now the map looks like:
      map2.jpg
      The dashed line is 0.25m wide and has a pattern of 0.9m dash, 0.3m space, which correspond to the layer definition (measurments are in mm)
    • the DWG-export looks like (To keep the linetype pattern I choose a DWT-drawing which contains the linetypes (here: LTYP8)):
      map2_export.JPG
      It's getting closer to what I expect. But a plot to PDF reveals to a solid line.
  • Case C
    • changing the LineWeightScalable to true and the value of LineWeight to 2.5 has the same results as case b, but with a line width (Linienstärke) of 0.

 

What I want:

I tried to modify the properties of the polyline in the DWG. Finally I came to this:

map3.JPG

In a PDF-plot it looks like (only one purple line is modified):

map3_plot.JPG

Why I need to set the line type factor (Linientypfaktor) to 30 is not quite clear to me. But the parameter "global width" (Globale Breite) seems to be a hint.
The aiming scale has always been 1:100.

 

How can I control this?

 

Any hints or solutions are appreciated!

 

 

Cheers,

Maria

Hi Maria,

 

when you export to DWG - which option do you use with "MAPTOACADUSELINEWEIGHT"?

 

Befehl: MAPTOACADUSELINEWEIGHT
Methode zum Konvertieren der Linienstilstärke auswählen [Linienstärke/Polylinienbreite]  <Linienstärke>:p

Hi Robert!

 

I didn't know of this parameter. Thanks, that helped a bit.

Now the DWG looks like

neu.JPG

 

But how can I set the Line Type Factor (Linientypfaktor)?

Hi Maria,

 

we solved this by configuring our Map layers in a specific way. There might be other possibilities.

DWG Export has changed - with Map 2013 we had to workaround certain issues wich have been fixed in newer releases.

 

You will find more about how we set up our layers on this blog:

The older posts are in German, the newer ones in English.

Hey Rob,

 

alright, I am now getting closer. MAPTOACADUSELINEWEIGHT and layer-definitions have to play together. I need to overhaul the files...

 

One more question which arose in the meantime: Is it possible to export offset lines? The path-definition looks like: M 0,5 h 4.0, thus an offset in direction of Y. My DWG is straight on Y=0. That's it?

Hi Maria,

 

with regards to the offset - I dont know. We never had the situation as far as I remember. 

I'm not sure - I think an AutoCAD line needs to start with a line. You would need to have a look on the AutoCAD side as there is propably not option/setting in Map export/layer configuration for that.
