Mapping Options dialog box

Maps the layers in the selected AutoCAD file to sketches in the Autodesk Inventor drawing or part, and the fonts in the AutoCAD file to Windows or TrueType in the Autodesk Inventor drawing.

Access:

In the Open dialog box, select a .dwg or .dxf file and click Options. Ensure that Import is selected and click OK. Select Open and click Next in each dialog box to open the subsequent dialog box. On the Import Destination Options dialog box, click Mapping Options.

Layers

Maps layers in the selected AutoCAD file to sketches in the destination Autodesk Inventor Drawing. By default, a sketch is created for each layer in the AutoCAD file. You can rename the sketches or map multiple layers to a single sketch.

Note: Layers that are turned off or frozen in the DWG file are not translated.

AutoCAD Layer	Shows the layers in the selected AutoCAD file.
Autodesk Inventor Sketch	Lists the sketches defined for the destination drawing file. To change the name of a sketch, select it, and then type the new name. To map the corresponding layer to another defined sketch, select it, click the arrow, and then select a sketch from the list.
Map all layers and dimensions to a single sketch	Maps all layers to a single sketch in the destination drawing. Note: Mapping a large amount of data to a single sketch can significantly increase translation time.

Fonts

Maps the fonts in the selected AutoCAD file to Windows and TrueType fonts in the destination Autodesk Inventor drawing. You can map multiple fonts in the AutoCAD file to a single font in Autodesk Inventor.

AutoCAD Font	Lists the fonts in the selected AutoCAD file.
Autodesk Inventor Font	Specifies the font to substitute for each AutoCAD font. By default the translator maps to the Windows or TrueType font that most closely approximates the AutoCAD font. To choose a different font, click the arrow and select from the list.
Use Double Stroke	Adds a duplicate line or stroke to the font in Autodesk Inventor to provide a cleaner display for fonts with thin lines. To add the double stroke, click the arrow, and then select Yes. To display the font as single stroke, click No.
Use Single Stroke Font	Sets all fonts to use single stroke. Select the box to change the Double Stroke settings for all fonts to No.
Reset Defaults	Sets all font mapping back to the defaults.
