Building model, floor plan and architecture

The imported drawing is NOT included in the export of the model. The resulting DWG/DXF file contains only DDS objects. Select this option if the designed systems should only be printed/exported but not the imported file.

The imported drawing is included in the export of the model as a block. This contains only the required objects with their original properties (colour, layer, etc.). A possible selected pen (for mono representation of the floor plan in the model) is ignored; layers not in use, blocks etc. are omitted.

The file size of the exported file is proportional to the size of the imported drawings and object in the DDS model.

Attention! 
This option is not suitable, when …
 …the DDS object mapping has been applied.  more...
Reasoning: The export results in this case would include the original DWG/DXF object AND the mapped DDS objects.
 Solution 1: Use  Export exploded in DDS colours (file can become very large!).
 Solution 2: Replace, after successfully mapping the objects to DDS objects, the imported original drawing (with the complete plan) with another drawing that includes for example only the floor plan.


…Sections have been inserted in the plot layout.  more…
Reasoning: The export results will ignore the section's boundaries and include all content of the imported drawing.
 Solution: Use  Export exploded in DDS colours (file can become very large!).

The imported drawing is not an integral part of the export results. In contains only the DDS objects and an external reference (Xref) that refers to the imported drawing.

The file size of the export results is very low. The receiver, however, requires in addition to the exported results also the drawing file to which is referred. Only then when you open the export results a complete plan appears.

The imported drawing is selected as a block and transferred with the in DDS-CAD selected pen settings (e.g. the mono representation of the floor plan in the model) to the export results. DWG objects that have been assigned a DDS object via the Object mapping function, are excluded from the export.

During export, the original DWG/DXF structures are resolved into individual lines and each object is a colour carrier. The file size of the exported results can therefore grow disproportionately compared to the original design file.
