The DWG files contain lines which are all set to BATTING linetype, the only difference being in the LT scale of each (so as to produce different thicknesses of insulation - all based on the BATTING linetype in Autocad).
When I set up my DWG translator in Archicad, I create two assignments: one for BATTING at Linetype Scale of 10, converting these to 'Insulation - 60' in Archicad; and another for BATTING at Linetype Scale 50, converting those to 'Insulation - 100' in Archicad:
However, both types get converted to the first one, 'Insulation - 60':
Other than the pen color being set correctly, the linetype scale setting from Autocad doesn't seem to affect which linetype within Archicad is going to be used during the import, and both kinds show as same insulation 'thickness'.
Has anyone managed to make this work?
