Purpose

The page is intended for setting import of DXF file components – layers, spatial categories and blocks in layers.

Pane “List of components”

The pane displays a list of layers of DXF file being imported. A checkbox to the left of the layer name is a sign of enabling import of features of the corresponding layer.

If export is disabled for the whole layer, features will not be imported not depending on the sign of enabling or disabling import for a spatial category or for a block.

Context menu of the pane of components

Context menu of the pane of components contains two items Import and Do Not Import and permits indicating either to load features of selected layer of imported DXF file or not.

Pane “List of subcomponents”

The pane contains a list of spatial categories of features and blocks of the layer selected in the pane of components. If the box Explode blocks is checked, names of blocks are not present in the list.

The caption of the pane contains column names:

Spatial category, block
