The options available are: mirror vertically, mirror horizontally, rescale or rotate. (see also layer concept) (7) Transformation featuresĪpart from choosing the correct coordinate system (see 5), you can also perform extra tranformations when importing the CAD data. However you can always reorder the objectes manually later on. If you use overlapping objects it will save you time to preset the correct order at this point. It is especially helpful to pre-select the correct drawing order. In this section you can change how layers will be imported. If the imported graphics seems mirrored, you might have to pick another option here.
This means that the vertical axis points to the top side, whereas the horizontal axis points to the right. The most common type in construction is “bottom left”. Select the type of your coordinate system. HTflux will try to detect the correct unit in the DXF file, however sometimes this information is not provided or not set correctly. if you select “mm” a distance of 1 will equal physically to 1mm. Define the units used in the CAD program, e.g. Use this combo box to adjust the scaling of the drawing imported. You can create customized templates to assign materials based on the layer names in the CAD file. The import wizard offers extended functionality for pre-assigning materials.
Use these buttons and the input field on the right side to pre-select materials. If your CAD drawing has been created using separate layers for materials you can already assign materials to the layers at this point.
HTflux offers a very comfortable tool for importing CAD data.
