Window-Door Markers layer conversation

Anonymous — Wed, 06 Sep 2006 19:48:05 GMT

Is there any option to convert ArchiCad's Window-Door Markers layer into different named DWG layer?
I mean in ArchiCad's DXF/DWG translation setup dialog of course.

You can make a layer name translation list of the layers you want re-named.

The context sensitive help in Archicad 10 is much improved. Right-click on items in the translator settings dialog, and you'll get the appropriate Help file directly in your browser.

To the best of my knowledge: not possible the way Doors/Windows etc. are placed on separate layers. Window/Door Markers are a sort of sub-element of Windows/Doors, so they get placed to the same layer as the Window/Door they belong to.
However, here is something you can try: create all your Window/Door markers with a specific Pen, then in the DXF-DWG Translation Setup Dialog, specify a Pen->Layer conversion rule for that Pen.
In the Dialog, in the Attributes>Layers>Methods page, in the Create Layers according to field the Layer or declared Pen Number option could be the best option fro this, I think.
