Tab Import

In this tab you specify the special settings for DXF / DWG import.

Overview of the main dialog elements:

Initial directory:

Specify the initial directory here or click [...] to select it yourself.

You can use the Insert path variable popup menu item to branch to the dialog Select path variable where you can select one of the available path variables.

Assignment to EPLAN pages:

DXF / DWG files are sorted in the order they are transferred from the file selection window. You can change this order under the Numeric or Alphanumeric options:

Generate pages:

Specify the following in this group box:

Ignore frozen layers:

With this check box you control the behavior of the import if the DXF / DWG file to be imported contains layers that have the "Frozen" setting in AutoCAD. In AutoCAD the elements on these layers are invisible and cannot be edited.

If the check box is activated, elements are not imported to these layers.

If the check box is deactivated, the elements on the frozen layers are imported, but the associated layers are invisible by default in EPLAN and are blocked for editing.

The additional settings in this group box allow you to influence the drawing size when importing:

Activate this check box if you want to import DXF / DWG diagrams with very large extensions (hall layouts, site plans, etc.). The DXF / DWG import is adapted as follows so that correct line thicknesses and dimensions can be generated at such drawings:
