IImportDxfDwgData Interface

Allows you to specify values when importing or inserting DXF/DWG data.

.NET Syntax

Visual Basic (Declaration) 
Public Interface IImportDxfDwgData
Visual Basic (Usage) 
Dim instance As IImportDxfDwgData
C# 
public interface IImportDxfDwgData
C++/CLI 
public interface class IImportDxfDwgData

Example

Remarks

When importing DXF/DWG data, you can:

  • Let SOLIDWORKS determine the default values:

    • Paper size and sheet scale are computed to fit the input data.

    • Length unit is determined from the header of the input DXF/DWG file.

    • Sheet name is the same as the layout name in the input DXF/DWG file.

     - or -


NOTES:

  • Getting the IImportDxfDwgData interface does not get default values from the input file. Any values not set by you are set to the values computed by SOLIDWORKS.

  • If the DWG/DXF file has multiple sheets, use these methods with a valid layout name in the Sheet argument to set up sheet specific settings, which override the default settings. If any of the individual items are not specified for a given layout name, the value used is from the defaults (layout name ""). If the default value is not specified, SOLIDWORKS computes and uses a meaningful value for that item.

When inserting DXF/DWG data as a feature into the current model document, first select a plane or planar surface and then call IFeatureManager::InsertDwgOrDxfFile2.

Call ISldWorks::LoadFile4 to import the DXF/DWG file as a new SOLIDWORKS model document.
