Use the Output Options page to set output options for the exported AutoCAD solids or bodies.
- Output Object Type
- Select the type of object you want to extract from the corridor model. You can select to extract AutoCAD Bodies, AutoCAD Solids, or AutoCAD Swept Solids.
Note: Links are always exported as bodies rather than solids (regardless of the object type you choose to create).
- Output Destination
- Specifies the location of the extracted solids or bodies.
- Insert into Current Drawing: Specifies that the extracted solids or bodies are placed in the current drawing and overlay the originating corridor.
- Add to an Existing Drawing: Specifies that the extracted solids or bodies are added to an existing drawing that you specify. Enter a name in the blank field or click the
button to select a drawing.
- Add to a New Drawing: Specifies that the extracted solids or bodies are added to a new drawing that you specify. Enter a name in the blank field or click the button to enter a file name and location for the new drawing.
- Dynamic Link to Corridor
- Specifies that the extracted solids will maintain a dynamic link to the corridor. If the corridor changes, the solids will change when the corridor is rebuilt.
Note: This option is active only when the Output Destination is set to Insert into Current Drawing. If you would like to maintain a dynamic link but have the corridor and the solids in different drawings, you can create a data shortcut from the corridor, insert a data shortcut reference into the current drawing, and then create the solids in the current drawing from the data referenced corridor.
