Export multiple styles (created from thematic rules) to AutoCAD blocks

[Simon_Thouin-Verdun]

Hi,

I've created multiple thematic rules with each a different style and I was wondering if it's possible to export them as blocks (with the same styles) in plain AutoCAD.

The data came from a SHP data connection.

I've try the "Save as AutoCAD drawing..." but they are all exploded.

Thank you

>>>..."Save as AutoCAD drawing..." but they are all exploded...<<<
That is what that command option is designed to do, dumb down your file aka explode everything, for general CAD use like in AutoCAD.

Looks like you are hoping to export features not found (or handled) in plain AutoCAD: may I ask why?

Hi,

In the wizard for export, you need to check first option to keep block into block.

In my french language it's "Modifiable"

If you check 2nd option as "visuel" all elements are exploded. This option can be considered as "Plot to DWG" to keep exact visual render.

Merci Olivier!  Ça fonctionne!

Pour une raison que j'ignore, le "wizard" ne s'ouvre pas si je passe par les ribbons (tel que montré ici).

En utilisant la commande MAPTOACAD, ça me donne accès au "wizard".

Encore un fois merci!

et vive la France!

Bonjour,

Personnellement, j'utilise très peu le ruban. Je fais toujours l'export depuis le volet des tâches à partir de l'icône carte.

Hello,

Personally, I don't use the ribbon very much. I always export from the task pane using the map icon.

Hi Olivier,
I'm trying to follow along and learn something. Where is the "Wizard for Export"? How do you get to the Screen Shot shown in your Message #3?

You can access the wizard by using the MAPTOACAD command.

Simon,
Thank you. I learned something new. I just now tried this using Olivier's method and it works very well.
