  • Click File.

  • Click Create DXF/DWG file for Autocad.

  • The command opens a window.

  • Create DWG/DXF file for AutoCAD: exports surveys, drawings and surfaces.

  • Create DWG/DXF file for AutoCAD with cross-sections: exports the cross sections group in a single file or multiple file.

  • Create DWG/DXF file for AutoCAD with orthophotos: exports orthophotos in a single or multiples files.

To save the file as DXF or DWG, you must rename the export file extension in dxf or dwg.

Create DWG/DXF file for AutoCAD

  • This function exports surveys, drawings and surfaces to format DXF or DWG.

  • The command requires the following settings:

    • File name: allows to choose the name and the path where you want to save the file and if exported file is in DXF or DWG format.

    • DWG/DXF version: sets the version of the AutoCAD format. This allows the program to perform the operation compatible with the AutoCAD installed.

    • Export 3D: enables/disables the export of data with the elevation. If the option is not active the items will be exported without the z-coordinate.

    • Export selected objects: enables/disables the export of data with the elevation. If the option is not active the items will be exported without the z-coordinate.

    • Export with AutoCAD colors: enables/disables the use of true colors or using AutoCAD colors. If this option is enabled, it remap colors in Fusion to use the 256 Autocad colors.

    • Export entities on projection planes: with this option enabled the software can identify elements belonging to each projection plane and generate a dedicated sub-drawing for each one.

      As a result, plans and side elevations are automatically generated in the final DXF/DWG.

    • Export points: enables/disables the export of topographic points.

    • Default symbols as AutoCAD entity point: if enabled the point default symbol is exported as POINT entity, otherwise is exported as block.

    • Export points on layers by code: enables/disables the export of topographic points on the layer defined by the survey code.

    • Export as block: enables/disables the export of topographic points as blocks. In this case, the point data (name, code, description, and quota) will be exported as block attributes.

    • Export Photos/Sketches: export Photos/sketches link to topographical points.

  • Then the command prompts you to select the subprojects of which export the data.

Create DWG/DXF file for AutoCAD with cross sections.

  • This function exports the cross sections group in a single file or multiple file.

  • The command requires the following settings:

    • File name: allows to choose the name and the path where you want to save the file and if exported file is in DXF or DWG format.

    • DWG/DXF version: sets the version of the AutoCAD format. This allows the program to perform the operation compatible with the AutoCAD installed.

    • Create a file for each section: enables/disables the creation of a file for each single cross section. If disabled creates a single file that contains all sections or profiles.

    • Layout mode: enables/disables the export of cross sections or profiles in their layout drawing.

    • Export with AutoCAD colors: enables/disables the use of true colors or using AutoCAD colors. If this option is enabled, it remap colors in Fusion to use the 256 Autocad colors.

  • In the last step the procedure allows to choose the Section groups to export.

Create DWG/DXF file for AutoCAD with orthophotos.

  • This function exports orthophotos in a single or multiples files.

  • You can export the orthophotos of the project to individual files in DXF/DWG format or in a single file.

  • The command requires the following settings:

    • File name: allows to choose the name and the path where you want to save the file and if exported file is in DXF or DWG format.

    • DWG/DXF version: sets the version of the AutoCAD format. This allows the program to perform the operation compatible with the AutoCAD installed.

    • Create a file for orthophoto: enables/disables the creation of a single file for each orthophoto. If disabled it creates a single file that contains all selected orthophotos.

    • Export with AutoCAD colors: enables/disables the use of true colors or using AutoCAD colors. If this option is enabled, it remap colors in Fusion to use the 256 Autocad colors.

  • In the last step the procedure allows to choose the data to export.
